But if people want to work (and I don't doubt many do), why force them to? Why we need to "ensure they are kept busy"?

All of this smells of replacing capitalist oppression with bureaucratic oppression. All for their own good, of course.

Thanks a lot, we definitely need to make some changes.
Assuming you have the volume up, why can't it pick that up from the speaker?
Wow, loving the library so far. SO cool.
But when capitalist talk about Job Guarantee, they do not want to reinstall the stable jobs of communist times. Regardless if there was work or profit, you had a job in DDR or Poland.

But they think about 1 Euro Jobs like those installed in Germany by the aSocial unDemocratic Party.

The result of the 1 Euro jobs here is that that those 1 Euro workers do the work of former employed people. Not as a worker, but as a state owned slave, for the benefit of capitalist who exploits them.

So its driving wages down to the bottom, because everybody fears losing his job, and accepts any shitty job, just to avoid becoming an 1 Euro slave worker. And those areas where 1 Euro slave workers are "employed" no longer pay living wages, because they can get workers for free.

PS: One of the most evil examples what this "Job Guarantee" might look like happened in the city of Oldenburg: The city just forced 1 Euro slaves to collect the waste, when waste collectors went on strike. Great Job Guarantee is a union killer. Thats exactly what the capitalist want.
A workplace is not a regulated Internet Service Provider.

Another word for "getting something for free" is price-dumping. History has many examples of this tactic being used to destroy competitors.

If someone wants to "sponsor" free traffic, they should be required to provide some percentage of that traffic for accessing the open internet, i.e. they cannot pay to remove choices from consumers.

Would it be ok to air-drop Go Language books in one country and Swift Language books in another country? Telecommunication and culture industries are regulated for good reasons.
I am sure.

Sydney is getting a 2nd airport. Air travel is easier to build, easier to expand and requires no private property resumption, wildlife corridors, bridges or tunnels.

There is also zero population density between the two cities.

It won't happen.
Thank you for your response.

This is something that I really have been trying to cover in my spare time. Unfortunately (in this regard) my degree is very 'industry-focused' and hence discards the more 'theoretically inclined' units. Something which I disagree with personally, however that's a discussion for a different time and place.

I'm currently undertaking Intro to Algs from MIT (6.006). With my given course load this is about as much as I can commit to this area at the moment. I however feel like I need to be doing more in this area. What would you recommend? I feel like getting results on Topcoder/et.al would provide a nice tangible learning experience. Would you agree with this or recommend some other activity/resource?

Cheers again.
I have yet to go through this talk but I have been waiting for this for a while. Mill is possibly the most interesting thing in all of computing right now.
Salisbury had a grid pattern back in the 13th century. But mostly small roads follow old field boundaries that can be very old and bendy. Even new developments will fit into old field layouts and have curved roads.
I assumed practice meant deliberate practice. Why should it not? How can you say it wasn't?
Didn't the same thing happen with the Nazis? Viewing Jews as sub-human, and bragging about how many they killed?

It is interesting to see how history repeats its self.
The strategy performs optimally in markets that are flat to +-5% on a given year. Last year's 32% gain in the S&P 500 was essentially the nightmare year and yielded 6%. 2008 would have been a nightmare year and yielded around the same. The strategy involves selling strangles with European contracts with portfolio margin using algorithms to determine a 95% likelihood of contracts expiring OTM, with a couple dozen adjustment techniques that occur if the 5% scenario plays out.

Making things in volume reduces the price. The profits on the batteries may be low (I'm not an insider so I have no idea what the profits are on these), but the profits on the cars (which Tesla makes) are reasonably high. It's like investing in infrastructure when you make something that uses that infrastructure, akin to a hosting facility investing the fibre optic lines that connect it.

Electric cars are already affordable, that's not the main sticking point (a fast way to charge them and a widely rolled out network of charging stations is).

If they manage to shave a few percentage points off the cost of production and create jobs in the process I don't see the problem.
So:

(map #(vector % (inc %)) [1 1 2 3]) ; => ([1 2] [1 2] [2 3] [3 4])

Is it really that bad the function is missing?
If you like your current job, I think you should stay there. You can program in your spare time and try to build a good software.

As you are in a manual job, I think the end of the day you will not be so tired mentally, and you will have more energy to program stuff you like. In a company, probably, and most in the start of you career, you will got more boring stuff to do, and you will cannot choose what you want to do. Have you thought about this?

Beside of all of this, you need to choose what do you really like to do, if everything goes wrong, you can change again. Your experience will never be lost. Good luck!
IMHO it's a matter of chance/game theory. Taking a proactive approach is expensive (security will slow down your development and operation) and most likely won't benefit you much.

I don't agree. In the notebook, you can use "%pylab inline" or "%matplotlib inline" magic to have plots inline, but you can also not use it and have plots output to a separate window without any side effects in the notebook itself. Or use any other backend of your choice.

To select a previous cell just press UP in command mode (or press Esc-UP in any mode). Ref: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/ipython/ipython/blob/2.x/...
Do you have a list of such TLDs?
(let [i1 [1 1 2 3]
i2 (map #(inc %) i1)]
(map vector i1 i2))

=> ([1 2] [1 2] [2 3] [3 4])

All standard tools. I don't know what your definition of zip-with is, but it certainly differs from the one I'm used to from Haskell, and it seems like other people disagree with you as well (but I suppose you'll just consider me 'constrainer' or whatever as well).
That's the beauty of an API. It doesn't really matter what backend language you decide to use. To the front-end client, it's just good old endpoints sprinkled with JSON.

I was gonna say that Glasgow city centre is pretty atypical - resembling US cities close enough that a few parts of World War Z (which were meant to be Philadelphia I think) were filmed there. But then I realised that Edinburgh's "New Town" (actually hundreds of years old) is a grid-layout too.

Well said. Most of the major reasons people are attracted to the suburbs is due to having children. People with children want a larger home, great schools and low crime.

Until these "new urban" environs offer that, it will be difficult to attract most parents with children to move there.
I'm not familiar with Ionic. It describes itself as a framework for Hybrid apps, which sounds interesting, but all I can see described on the website is html and css. Anyone mind enlightening me on what that means here?
The point being made is about the danger of the wrong type of praise, not avoiding criticism. A child that is told repeatedly that they were born with a gift for mathmatics may gave up too early on music if they don't show immediate talent (or vice versa).

The only criticism there is self-criticism, which is a lot harder to escape.
> But I'm not entirely sure how this fits into a global economy. If workers in China are working for cents there is no way a similar industry in Australia can compete with a minimum wage of $18 an hour. We've seen this in textile manufacturing in particular.

This has been discussed to death here in Portugal. Portugal had, up until the 90s, a strong textile and shoe making industry. It moved to the east during the late nineties, early noughties. Strangely, the last five years have seen a renaissance.

Our cost of labor, while cheap in EU terms is orders of magnitude above eastern countries. The explanation for the resurgence of the industry is twofold: a) Cost of labor accounts for less than one third of final product cost; b) Logistics advantages can easily recover the cost difference. Think short lead times, work force adaptability, higher automation, lower defect ratios, smaller inventory. Couple this with fashion sticking less and less to two collections per year (and going for high adaptability during the season), and you get a competitive advantage China and Vietnam do not have.

This is good to hear. I'm currently attending a program through a software consultancy here in my city in which we create a project in teams of devs/BA's using Agile/Scrum, a heavy git focus, continuous integration, and testing frameworks. I'm learning heaps (things we don't really cover at uni) and hope it will help in internships/junior positions.
I won't use Bitcoin if transfers aren't free. Bitcoin is competing with my bank account, and to date I can transfer money all around the EU for free, and I've been doing so since 2006. I my case, Bitcoin won't work if the level of service is any worst/more expensive than my bank.

small city in austria, pretty much like described by OP. then a strip mall was built outside the city, cafés, bars and a cinema included. the inner city died out in a matter of months - only the elderly stayed.

small mom&pop shops in the city you can reach by foot? sounds nice in theory, but this also means running to 10 different shops, lugging your purchases around for the whole trip. honestly - driving to a strip mall where you can buy everything and store the shopping in your trunk is just a lot more convenient.
i mean, as soon as you have to get in the car to do the shopping, the strip mall always wins. i live in a big city and do the grocery shopping per pedes almost every day - but i don't need much (don't have to shop for a 3-4 hungry mouths).

it might work as an alternative - for people that are fed up with the car centrist society and actively seek out a place where the community takes its place. i'm just not sure that small, village friendly businesses would be competitive when strip malls are around.

It could be true if switching from 60 Hz old-style fluorescent tubes to incandescent. Working with 60 Hz lighting for those of us that can clearly see the flicker is very difficult. It's literally like trying to work under a strobe. Even at higher rates these lights have random flickering from age and other reasons. You may not consciously see flickering, but your brain does.
If you care about I/O, you should look into the Banana Pi, it's like a really souped-up Pi with a lot of power, like fast Ethernet and a dual core processor. Of course, it also draws more power than the Raspi, but it's still a pretty good tradeoff.
Not only that. People need income, and thus the employer have an major advantage. With BIG people do not need the money to the same extend and thus evaluate the cost/benefit much more fairly. I'm not going to bust my ass off for 10$ an hour with zero benefits. On the other hand if the same job gave me 30$ I might not mind it.

All I can say is that Job Guarantee is not working in Denmark and that the administrative overhead alone is insane.
I don't think Job Guarantee proponents are suggesting that the sick and disabled also have to work. They continue to receive welfare without any work requirements. I'm not a JG proponent, I just thought your comment was miscontrueing their position.
Well I live in the UK, I've specced out a mid range Model S with a few optional extras so this comes in at £67000.

Lets assume by some miracle I manage to save up a £7000 deposit, this leaves me with some £60000 to find. At a quick google around its pretty hard to get car finance over £25000, but lets have a crack at it and try autotrader. They'll only let me borrow £50k over 60 months which gives me monthly payments of £958.

My monthly take home is £1800, so that leaves me with £852 to play with, my rent is £450 and my council tax is £101, so now we're down to £301 and I haven't paid for my utilities yet.

So an electric car in my lifetime (or at least one with a useful range like the Teslas) is a distant dream. At least until the Model 3.
>wouldn't you

No I wouldn't. I've hoped too many times that this kind of monopolist-but-beneficial scheme would work for the best, only to be consistently disappointed that the company behind it will use it only for its own interests when it's in a bad situation. And then everyone wonders "why did we let this happen?" Yeah...
Very cool. These historical images would benefit from metadata (at least time & location) annotation, to improve discovery and visualization. E.g. placing documents in the context of J.B. Spark's 4000 year Histomap.

Dear Instagram – Please don't use the name Bolt
I have been told by multiple HVAC professionals recently that one should keep their fan on their system always running. They have in fact adopted this practice at our offices and it greatly help with keeping temperatures in consistent from room to room.
The arguments they provided for this were:
[1] Constant air flow creates more consistent temperatures (less highs and lows from interior to exterior or floor to floor.
[2] Allows filtration system to work continuously cleaning the air.
[3] (This is the one I am skeptical of) Starting the fan motor has a large current draw, but leaving it running is very low current on modern high efficiency HVAC systems. Also apparently when the fan starts i the most likely time for fan failure due to high current and torque on the motor. These fan motors are typically not repairable in small commercial and residential units and are quite expensive.

We adopted the fan always on with scheduled temperature adjustment here at our office, it is more comfortable for sure and less dusty. I do not know if it affected energy costs. When I tried this at home it was more comfortable but my electric bill went up by ~$20
> 10. The poor and the unemployed want to work (here, here). And as my work on Argentina showed (9m14s), receiving income is the fifth reason why the poor wanted to work!

> 13. The JG does precisely that: recognizes many people want paid work

It looks as if the article confuses work and PAID work. Sure, BIG may lead to more people quitting their paid jobs. But it might actually increase the amount of unpaid, yet socially valuable, work.
Note that children do form memories. From the article:

"Then in 1987, a study by the Emory University psychologist Robyn Fivush and her colleagues dispelled that misconception for good, showing that children who were just 2.5 years old could describe events from as far as six months into their past."

Perhaps your argument still holds, though. It seems plausible.

I must admit, I've been impressed with Android Wear so far. I was cynical but decided to get one to play with, and even just having notifications on the wrist comes in handy in so many situations for doing quick triage (while driving, while in a situation where pulling out a phone would be rude, etc). Displaying a QR code on the screen to get on a train (or even plane) is a great idea, and it might not even be long before they can do contactless payments with NFC..

I think we're still in the early days of this stuff (the Diamond Rio age prior to the iPod being released, if you will) but I see a lot of promise here.

What bothers me with suburban living in the US is that you give away the convenience of the city and all you get back is a backyard barely big enough for a barbecue. Here's the house where I grew up in France:

It's 10 minutes by car to the center of the nearest city, Rennes (pop. 200,000), with good hospitals and good schools and pretty much anything you need:
http://i.imgur.com/3DkTrwC.jpg

And 5 minutes from a smaller town with a small supermarket, bakeries, and bi-weekly farmer's market that covers everything needed for daily life:
http://i.imgur.com/GDSpg3f.jpg

In comparison, a suburban home in San Mateo, CA, where I lived for a year felt very cramped:
http://i.imgur.com/9Nkm3wO.jpg (quick collage from Google Maps, might not be exactly at scale)

Of course, San Mateo is just 20 minutes away from an international airport and destroys Rennes in job opportunities in the tech sector, but it seems that suburban homes in the US are all built on this same cramped model regardless of their location.

I don't have kids yet so I'm probably missing something though; my brother with two small kids just moved from a downtown apartment to a small house and seems to be enjoying his small garden a lot.
I would tend to think like you, but what would probably happen with me is that I would try something cool that I'm interested in and could benefit others (I am now working on an intelligent software to teach maths to Junior High School/ High School, so I would probably do that), but without the economic incentive to deliver something tangible and usable, odds are that I would probably give up at some point after encountering something I can't solve, and most likely I would end up with an half assed project before trying something else.

My guess is that the majority of the people would do just like that, and while we would probably have more Linus like people who start building things by sheer curiosity, we would lose lots of industrial work and research, and I am not sure we would end up winning.

So I don't know. I am genuinely interested in the BIG, and think it could unleash the creativity of some people, but I am afraid the majority of us would just waste time into useless distractions. Maybe the BIG should last a given period (like one year), at the end of which it can be renewed if the beneficiary can prove that he or she has spent enough time on something "interesting" - it can be the kind of things you mention, something artistic, doing some studies, traveling, etc. The definition of "interesting" needs to be loose, but the beneficiary has to prove that he or she hasn't only been watching youtube and facebook.

It's angular, with cordova/phonegap packaged alongside it, and then a whole load of ionic sauce in the form of css and angular directives to make the thing work on mobiles in a polished way. They're doing stuff like catching every touch event and doing debouncing, while actually improving performance. Some of it is quite impressive.

I'd recommend it if you need to make an angular app look and behave like a native app as much as possible.

Unfortunately if you want to deviate from ionic's currently small pool of iOS-ish design metaphors, then it's not flexible at all, that's what you sacrifice for having everything else work with minimum fuss. I believe they are working on remedying this, there's lots of stuff on the issue tracker about enabling iOS Mail style layouts and so on.

In the end, it's just angular, and ui-router: this is its strength. Take a look at the repo.

If you believe, like I do, that the limited sales of Microsoft phones are actually mostly due to brand loyalty to a different brand, then the situation is a lot more dire than it seems at first.
