Accusations of false flag this early are just a smokescreen, someone trying to muddy the waters due to political sympathies - until someone takes advantage of the situation, one can't reasonably claim false flag without sounding like a loon. I'm not saying false flag doesn't or can't happen, just that you at least need to have a bit more information come to light before you can take it seriously as an option, and you need to see how those with a lot to gain take advantage of the event.

Hell, saying Ukraine did this as false flag seems especially loony - Russia was drawing down it's forces on the border, down to about 1,000 soldiers (down from over 40,000). Why would they intentionally stir the pot when things were going as they needed them to?
Maybe in many places. Or maybe for some uses. Around here, Google Maps has a block level understanding of addresses and just shows a calculated point for a given house number (you can feed in non houses and it shows them down the street from real addresses).

My understanding is that they have acquired building data from many municipalities and will absolutely use that when they have it, not that they have spent a lot of time refining it.
oh my, goes to show that statistics might have good numbers, but no meaning.

Macedonia? Georgia? My god, Georgia just had a war with Russia, is the second biggest target after the Ukraine/Krim.

Ethopia? WTF. If you want to live secure, have western healthcare, etc. 3rd world countries are some of the most expensive countries to live in. And Ehtopia is an authoritarian regime, which tends to blow violently once in a while.
I've seen someone take a piece of code from 72 lines down to 3 lines by just doing some simple mathematical analysis before actually getting to refactoring. The code was also simpler, and easier to understand.

Hey Ivanlubenko,

On the fly stabilization is not really an option, as smoothing is done by averaging movement from the past and future, up to 5s on both sides.

The API thing might be a good idea, shoot an email at steady@stupeflix.com!
Also, if they're not encrypting the radio transmission, easily intercept-able.
Yes. Very few people have the motivation to learn a language when they lack both free time (e.g. by virtue of being single) and the motivation (e.g. economic necessity or being single).

I've lived in China for 4 years. I know one married person who studies Chinese regularly and seriously. I know others who have come here to work, and are even married to Chinese people, who can barely say their own address.

The good news is, you can do it!!! You just need to be realistic about the time and effort involved. Also, if you're mid-way through your career, you may find the best job in terms of providing for your family is the worst job in terms of improving your language skills and learning the local culture.

Whichever country you choose, find expats who went before you, talk with them and understand where you can do better and/or where you will have the same problems as they did.

Hi jodogne. I just started using Orthanc in a simple project to translate and organize images between a clinical PACS system and a research XNAT instance. It's been an absolute breeze to use.

The REST interface is wonderful, especially when compared to the frustrating world of XNAT. This project is extremely well done. Congrats! I'm looking forward to using it more. If an XNAT-like system were built on top of this, the world would be a better place, in my opinion. Thanks for such a great piece of software!
There's no doubt that my technical blog helped do this the first time. But, I firmly believed that this could be repeated without an established presence.

And, it has been repeated.

After I co-authored an article with a fellow parent describing how social media + sequencing could discover diseases, a family with an undiagnosed child reached out to me.

They had been exome sequenced, but they were left with two de novo mutations of unknown clinical significance. It wasn't clear if either was the cause of their child's symptoms.

I gave them advice on how to structure a site with the highest likelihood of finding another patient.

They created this on their own:

http://milosjourney.com/

Within 29 days, they found a second patient with a de novo mutation in the same gene (KDM1A). Just looking at the kids made it obvious they had the same disorder.

And, so KDM1A has become the second disease discovered by social media + sequencing.

The heartening aspect is that this family didn't have a prior social media presence at all.

I recommended that they buy Google AdWords on the names of the candidate genes of unknown clinical significance they were given, but even that wasn't necessary.

So, I'd recommend that anyone going through a diagnostic odyssey and start blogging everything -- medical terms, lay terms, doctors names, symptoms, medications, treatment attempts, etc.

These are all the kinds of things that fellow sufferers are likely to type into Google.
The search space is all tunes that have been played on Soundwave from all sources plus a large source with a huge catalog. Soundwave sources include Android Native, iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, Rdio, Pandora, Deezer and a few others. The authority source has a about 20 million tracks.

Bandcamp is not something we have support for right now, but it's been requested a number of times, and we like to listen to our users. Soundcloud support was a result of a very vocal group of users with the same perspective as you have.

I moved to Norway recently myself, but from New York City, where I am originally from. It is something I wanted to do for a long time, in part because my grandparents came from where I am now. All these points are true (cost, permit, etc.), but it is not a shock to me when living in Manhattan in terms of prices. There are some things that are quite expensive. My wife would compare food costs to buying stuff at Whole Foods.

Summertime in Norway is holiday time. People can take up to the whole month off. There is this thing called feriepenger where the government mandates that 10.5% of your salary is saved for vacation. It really stinks for the first year. :)

Shops close on Sundays (except gas station stores and Joker) and there is one government-ran store for wine/liquor/"strong beer". I just came here a few months ago, and I sort of miss having a nighttime. These are little things though. Of course though, YMMV.

I have been pursuing new job opportunties here. Most software development jobs tend to show up in Oslo, Stavanger and Bergen (three cities I am not in, I am in Southern Norway.) It is easiest to get a job in Oslo, particularly if you follow FINN.no when you try to find dev work. So, I'd probably suggest one of those three cities if you want to come here. (Haven't been to Stavanger, but Bergen is the prettiest, but seriously rainy).

Of course, YMMV anywhere. Just remember, despite what people write in the US media: Scandinavia is not a socialist paradise. :D

(EDIT: one other thing, I love banking here. Internet banking in the US still is sort of a novel idea. I had to pay by check for my rent; now I just do it through the bank site, along with other bills. There is a bunch of things I wish I saw in the US that I see here when it comes to banking.)
It's not clear if this directly addresses your complaint ("programming education" vs "computer science education") but there is a specific special interest group for computer science education that's been holding conferences since 1983.

A point: you can't renounce US citizenship if all you have is permanent residency. You have to have citizenship elsewhere before the US will recognize you having renounced its citizenship.
Yes, that's right. Palantír was a registered trademark, and we have been invited to rename the project.
It's hard to disagree with a statement like "learning inherently must be done by the learner", because what are the instructors to do, stick their hands into the minds of a student and place the knowledge there? However I think you (and attitudes like this) go a long way to discount the skill required to provide guidance, to recognize when the learner is really stuck, to review output, and construct an overall trajectory.

I think it's the case that someone who can make a career before starting education can teach themselves, but what about the other way around, can we give the proper instruction and inspiration so that someone could have a career? Boring/bad classes disengage students, interesting/good classes engage students. What even makes a good/bad class? Wish we could study that...
The problem is Math is a large topic and means different things to people. Referring to the intended subset may be clearer.

However, Everything depends on the purpose of the code.

Programming is equally an insanely large topic now, so I must should temper this orignal statement somewhat

Depends on the case:

a) Want to experience life
- Find something totally different, leave everything behind.
- Go to a place that does not use English. Think awesome countries such as Greece, China, Italy, South America or Japan.
- Don't worry too much about answering the questions you posed. Just do a little planning, a little saving, a little networking, and get there.

b) Want to look for work without too much of a change
- Go to Ireland, UK or any other language that uses English.
- You can go to Canada too. I hear people are way nicer and they don't need to lock their doors! :-)

c) Running from the law
- This is trickier. You want to buy a couple of books (use cash).
- Cuba or Russia come to mind.
- China too.

d) Want to break the law
- Never break the law in another country. You will regret it.
- Stay home. It's always annoying when people break the law while in a different country and they complain that the process or the rules or the treatment is not "like in America."

Programming is not math! Math is Math! Math is a tool used in programming, engineering, economics, etc. To reduce a subject to a tool used in the subject is reductionist to the extreme and does not acknowledge the richness and complexity of the subject.
On the other hand my interest for languages/etymology is an extension of the pursuit of expressiveness in programming. So seeing how humans categorized and related syntax with semantics is valuable to me even if I never cared using learning technology (unless you count etymonline, wikipedia and such as learning tech)
This does not compute. It's obvious.

Programming is the human means to get a digital circuit to turn "one" and "zero" in a particular way.

Applied programming is to a CS degree as diagnosing and curing disease by a physician is to microbiology.

Applied programming is to math what diagnosing and curing disease by a physician is to chemistry/physics.

Even if you renounce your US citizenship you're still considered a US person for a few years, and still required to file.
The most important thing to remember to do is file every year. The US is the only country in the World which requires it's non-resident citizens to file tax returns every year. Also, don't forget to do your FBAR, or face huge penalties like $10,000 fines.

I'm an American who has lived in The Netherlands since 2002. I engage a competent tax preparer every year and pay through the nose for him, you should expect to do the same. When I last lived in the USA my tax return was 2-4 pages. Now it's over 70 pages long and incredibly complex. It's just something you have to deal with if you live overseas.
So, why did humans evolve language and to live in groups, be social, etc? And, what makes you think evolution is intrinsically good, or that it can decide the best path forward for humans? Isn't evolution intrinsically nothing at all?

Damn. We'll look into that. Thanks for the feedback. IN the meantime, try rebooting your phone and quitting all active app. This might be an available memory issue.
That's funny, but if your serious then your response does not make much sense here. My point is: Language came early in human development and to humans everywhere, without exception. Indeed the need to communicate may have been one of the main selectors justifying the cost (Brains are expensive to run). But many tribes are ok without maths and it has been around for just about three millennia and so could not possibly have had much influence on brain development.

Oh, came-on. Programs are math, programming obviously is not. Programming is creating math. And yes, math is a king of language.

I'd ask why do so many people think that math is only computations with numbers, but I do know the answer. It's a shame schools everywhere[1] put so many effort in taking all the creative parts from their math curriculum.

[1] Or should it be "almost everywhere"? I'd be delighted to hear about an exception, but I never had.
The issue isn't about making a value judgment on what's worth having and what's not.

Whether you like it or not, a person's social media profile is a part of their life. I'm sure you don't care about someone's photo album, or their diary, or the box full of concert ticket stubs they keep in their closet, either. But they matter to the person who kept them.

Except that now, we've grown accustomed to keeping our personal memories on Facebook, or Twitter, and used to keep them on MySpace, Friendster, and LiveJournal. "Just back it all up" you could say—but how many average everyday people even know how to do that?

The other day, I was looking for a podcast that I'd been on in 2010. Unfortunately, the site where it was hosted had undergone a refresh, and all content older than two years was gone. It reminded me just how quickly online content churns and disappears, and how even someone as backup-conscious as myself can lose digital media.

There's so much good about the planet-wide accessibility of digital data, and it's certainly better to have, say, a podcast out there that might be on thousands of computers than a cassette tape that's going to be lost or damaged in your car.

I'm simply saying that we should treat digital media as just as inviolate and permanent as physical media, and make it a better experience, not a more ephemeral one.
Thanks for making me feel young :) When I first used Slackware, I think the base set was 13 floppies, and that didn't include networking or X. This was before insmod/modprobe and I had to re-compile the kernel once I'd saved up the 80 pounds to buy a sound card. The compilation took the whole night on my 486, and I needed several attempts before I got it working. Kernel 1.1.59 I think.
From the Mapcode System Reference Document:

http://www.mapcode.com/downloads.html

'Unfortunately, a large part of the world population has no address. In India alone, well over half a billion people live in houses that have no street name. Millions of man-hours are lost every day trying to locate or deliver goods to people and businesses based on business cards like this:

------------------------------------------------------

Tel. +23984982217

Three miles east along the airport road, take second
left past the golden statue, in the fourth street left
ask final directions at baker across from white house.

Figure 1. Typical Indian Business Card

------------------------------------------------------

As we all know, even having an address is only an initial step in locating a position. Knowing someone lives on Queens’ Road 123 in Brunnock still requires you to find out where Brunnock is, and where the Queen’s Road is, and where number 123 is.

The mapcode system was designed as a free, brand-less, international standard that allows any location on the surface of the Earth to be represented by a short, easy to recognize and remember “code”, usually consisting of between 4 and 7 letters and digits.'

So, your point number 2 seems closest to what they're aiming for. Indeed, later in the document, they state:

'The longer a code gets, the more awkward it becomes to use, the more difficult to remember, the more easy to make mistakes in copying or using, the less benefit it offers over more elaborate descriptions. Many other benefits depend on mapcodes being short. If length was not a problem, we might as well put our longitude and latitude on business cards and address labels.'

> Also, won't there be multiple mapcodes for a single spot and won't that require cross-association of the respective metadata?

It seems like this corresponds to a coordinate system. You say what country you're in and then this gives you an aim point. I don't think you need to say 'it's in This, which is in This which...' :/
And this is why you absolutely never trust user input.
"Living in another country is way, way different from going on a vacation in another country"

Can't emphasize this enough. If you love traveling, emigrating somewhere may not be a great idea. Moved to the US from the UK a few years ago, and when I get vacation time I tend to use it to go back to visit friends and family.

That said, I made the move with a wife and child in tow, so it can be done - but obviously needs considerable thought and a strong partnership to make it work.

It's cheaper than sequencing, and more importantly, they actually know what to do with the data once they have it.

Getting your sequencing data is becoming cheaper and cheaper.

Analyzing it is not.
I have yet to make it down to the Algarve but people I know have gone and loved it (though some have said it's largely British, even when getting something from the local market where the owner-counter person is a Brit).

Living in Portugal is great, in my opinion. Being low-cost really helps, too. Lisbon is one of the prettiest/lovliest cities I've ever lived in (though it took me over 6 months to start to see it). And the short day-trips are well worth it (Arrábida+Cabo Espichel, Sintra, Cascais, etc). Renting a 1-bdrm in the city center is US$500/mo so it's hard to complain. Porto is awesome, too, and cheaper than Lisbon.
Canada and England are easy-mode for an American expat, in my experience. In addition to language, there are plenty of US firms already doing business there.

The easiest way to be an expat, by far, is to work for an American company who then sends you to work overseas. Ideally, an American firm with a large number of overseas US workers and an established program for that -- or a government organization like the State Department, entities like USAID, etc.

It's probably easier (in terms of not needing to make any decisions) to work for a US oil company and live on a compound in Saudi Arabia than it is to find your own way in a more permissive country. But less fun, I'm sure.
> Just like the Pascal Wager, this considers one single arbitrary hypothetical scenario in isolation, while disregarding all alternative ones. There's nothing to be terrified about.

Alternately: Pascal's Wager is a real concern, and the fear of it causes Roko's Basilisk to be nice. Either way: no problem.
I lived in Costa Rica for 6 months a couple years ago, and it really is an amazing place. Land, housing, and physical labor are all super cheap there - most everything else is pretty similar to the US. The food for instance is about the same, it's just better.

I lived in Playa Avellanas, which was way off the beaten path, and I don't recommend that. It was cool learning Spanish to communicate with everyone but the logistics of living there soon became a nusiance (20-40 minute drive to the nearest place with an ATM, for example, and the ride costs about $50, the hospital being hours away).

I've heard it is kind of a pain in the ass to legally reside in CR as well - navigating the waters and finding 'lawyers' who won't just steal your money and run is kind of tricky.
