My parents are (poor) immigrants. It took them 26 years to obtain green cards. I'm very familiar with the struggle.

One US acquaintance of mine is now waiting 9 months to get her Canadian work visa.

I am waiting 8 months to renew my Swiss residence permit (I have to do it every year), despite that I live in Switzerland for 9 years already.
Do you have specific knowledge about how more modern processors handle these cases? I was particularly excited to find this article because it was the only source that explained the hardware counter activity I found here: http://fastcompression.blogspot.com/2014/09/counting-bytes-f...

Yann was trying to write a fast histogram to record the number of occurrences of each character. But the simple version of the program was much slower than expected. After a fair amount of digging, it was determined that "impossible" store forwarding was a factor. Checking the performance counters seemed to confirm that many of the loads were being replayed (executed many times before being retired). Is there another explanation for this?
In the face of my local legislation, you are. That would mean trouble for me.
The original plan was to have multiple copies of the Internet Archive in different countries, so it would survive major disasters. The copy at Alexandria, Egypt is still there and online, but hasn't been updated since 2007.

Part of a successful relationship is having compatible goals in life. There is no correct answer to how much work is too much. Some people want to never work and spend all day on the beach. Others think the beach is boring and would much rather be creating something. Most people are the middle.

If your girlfriend thinks you work too much, you probably either need to work less or get a new girlfriend.

One thing that is definitely not "quality time" is fighting over how much you are working. Everyone loses.

Good luck!
Other than 100% CPU on Mac OSX, It was as exciting as when I first played Street Fighter II as a 9 years old kid.. What a legendary game!
Yes, you can sell your investment at market value as soon as you receive your citizenship. In that sense, there is almost no cost, not even lost opportunity cost, in getting the citizenship, provided that the real estate market of your destination isn't half bad.
There's about as much point in having a competitor to Bitcoin as there is in have a competitor to the World Wide Web.

There is an incredible amount of infrastructure built up around Bitcoin. There are currency exchanges all over the world. There are thousands of software libraries and applications. These network effects are very real.

The only way to build the types of extensions that you deem valuable are on top of the existing primitive infrastructure.

It's a shame that there is so much political rhetoric clouding the the real value. It kept me from discovering this stuff for the longest time!
A fourteen-year-old brought up with that much responsibility and freedom might very well talk that way. I've seen it done among my homeschooling friends.

Look at your priorities. What level of work makes you happy. What level makes them happy. Which is more important - your success, or your relationship.

Work out what the effects of your choices will be, and then consciously make a decision that will work best for you in the long run.
I might buy that you're not soliciting contributions on someone's behalf, at least in a razor-thin distinction kind of way.

But as much as I try to contort it, I can't see how you aren't accepting a contribution on someone's behalf.
Savvr - Portland, OR - Full-Time

Savvr provides large-scale data collection, analysis, and research for institutional investors. We're self-funded and profitable. We're looking to add more engineers to our team. We do a wide variety of things so a generalist is more likely to succeed than a specialist. Rather than list specific requirements, I'll just list the areas of experience and technologies we currently utilize on a daily basis.

* PHP - 5.5, modern code-base, back-end development, daemon processes, distributed workers

* MySQL - Medium-to-advanced SQL techniques, proper normalization, tuning configuration for efficiency. We work with PostgreSQL as well.

* Data-warehousing Understanding large datastores, star-schemas, fact-dimensions, pros/cons of a RDBMS versus a document-storage engine, Hadoop, columnar databases, etc -- all good things to know.

* Redis - Acts as a job broker & message queue for our platform

* AWS - We utilize a number of AWS services (ec2, route 53, s3, rds, vpc, etc)

* Web/Mobile - We really dig into how the web and APIs (soap, xml, rest, json, etc) operate on a technical level. Mobile data is just as important. Understanding the role and specifics around things like: http, ssl/tls, iphone, android, mitm, reverse-engineering are all important.

* Excel - The investment world loves Microsoft Excel and having a very solid understanding of XLSX, auto-generation of spreadsheets, dynamic data-source integrations is important.

* Automation/testing We run a 24x7 platform and need to be confident things are running smoothly at all times.

I understand this is quite a laundry-list of technical skills, and so if you feel you're strong in a few or more of these areas, we'd love to talk to you. We provide a competitive salary and benefits. We're a small company and starting our physical footprint here in Portland (we've been 100% remote for the past three years) so we can collaborate better.

I love Adam Curtis' work, but I can't help but feel that this "peering behind the curtain" is all a bit passé. I think many (most?) people people are aware at some level of the media manipulation of populations using crude psychological ploys, the hegemony of the big banks and multinationals and the hidden agendas of so-called benevolent nation states and governments. More interesting is what we (can?, should?) do about it?

Practically speaking, it's essentially impossible to become a US citizen without permanent residency. If you have permanent residency, then it's just about a foregone conclusion that you can obtain citizenship after you spend enough time living here. In terms of who can become a US citizen without being born one, the question of who is allowed to get a green card is close to being the same question.
Citizenship is already weird. My wife and I both being born in the US, we are tri-citizens and our descendants will also have tri-citizenship in perpetuity.

It would have been quad-citizenship if Norway allowed for multiple passports.

Xoopit. It does not exist anymore, but this was by far the best plugin I ever used. In fact it was one of the best software products I ever used, period. It would go through your email, and organize every photo, pdf, document you ever received and let you search through them.

Xoopit search was better than gmail search. Significantly.

Xoopit created a "personal media," [1] not social media, out of my inbox. This felt better than Facebook to me; when I had FB that is.

[1] I heard the term personal media from Tyler Crowley, which helped to change how I thought about this space.

I think this was an incredible move by zuckerberg and he should be applauded. I studied mandarin in grad school and then spent some time in China studying female chinese consumer behavior. Though my study participants were excited to practice their english with me, i was shy to practice my mandarin with them and I totally regret that as now my mandarin is almost gone. By truly taking steps to communicate with the very important Chinese market, Zuckerberg once again demonstrated his leadership skills by being brave as he made himself vulnerable to mistakes. I'm sure the many people in China who idolize him were also humbled to see him try something outside the comfort zone of a billionaire ceo.

"each new commit receives 1% of available balance"

So if you put a dollar in the account, even after 100 commits there's still 36 cents leftover (assuming every commit is "claimed"). Which is to say, by construction most of this money is going to remained unclaimed.

Couldn't agree more. Narrative is part of being human. Talking can be interactive (think Socratic method), but linear narrative--stories, poems--has been with us forever.

Medium and friends recognize this. Apps like Talko do too in their own way--taking a basic form like voice and allowing things like asynchronicity.

Personally, I've gotten into podcasting when it became easy enough to do so. About ten years ago, you could download Podcasts with iTunes, then sync them as a playlist, then... too complicated.

A few years ago this changed. I now have an app on my phone that auto-downloads the newest episodes of my favourite podcasts in the background. Whenever I want to listen to a podcast, the app will have one available. Additionally, these apps allow me to speed up playback, read through show notes, and skip forward over ad reads or boring sections.

This is very convenient, and only began to exist in the last few years, hence the "new" popularity of podcasts in the last few years. I don't think we need to invoke in-car internet access to explain podcast popularity.
Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard - Cambridge, MA - Full time

My group within the Broad, Computational Innovation Lab is hiring a coder to develop a new software/pipeline for genome assembly, annotation and analysis. The tech stack will be a mix of Python, Scala and various JS MVC framework. What's special about the position, IMHO is that our team has a direct working relationship with scientists in the lab (no biz-analysts in between), specifically supporting one lab where the mission is to develop novel genome sequencing techniques (e.g., pac-bio, nanopore sequencing) and another lab whose purpose is to sequence and analyze genomes of infectious disease pathogens (e.g., tuberculosis). So think no morning standup's, "tyranny of agile" but more an ad-hoc academic environment where you'll communicate & work with biologists, have an opportunity to learn both the wet-lab and in silico process of genome sequencing/assembly/annotation, go to all the talks and workshops for different research groups, have ownership over the architecting, coding and dev-ops.

So if you're interested in writing software without the management overhead of a traditional software org, be involved in Bioinformatics research, it might be a good opportunity for you to consider.

Organization-wise, the Broad is not a tech startup, but a genomics research institute that's half-way between industry and academia; computational biology is a big deal here and background of a lot the scientist-users.

I am the author :) It's a valuable feedback. Thanks. Moments are to group photos by event (taken in short span of time) and timeline view to group photos by month. Do you suggest me to switch the functionality, like timeline to show photos by event and moments by month? I'll revise the app to use other UI pattern instead of radio buttons. Also, bulk selection is very important. My mistake, I thought about it, must have implemented it, at least :(
I went from academia to a startup after being married. My wife was worried this would mean I work way too much. We came up with a specific plan. Three days a week I would be home at no later than 6. I could go in as early as I wanted. The other days I could stay as late as I wanted. Weekends were for us to spend time together. If there was a one off or some important thing, she wasn't worried since we had a clear agreement in place. Later the three days a week was made two days and this was also Ok.

Separately, just listen. If your SO wants to spend more time, make time. If you can't or won't then ask what is important to you and make a decision.

Another thing that helps is to plan specific things to do. Go on a hike, go to the beach, these kinds of memorable moments are more significant than going to a restaurant or hanging out on the couch.

This may not apply if you are in a relationship with dependency or trust issues. If you are go see a counselor and work that out first.
This kind of black and white thinking is just going to cause you to lose your girlfriend. If there's a happy medium, take it.
In dense city centers this problem has already been solved for a long time, hasn't it? Kids easily make their own way around Copenhagen, because it's compact and easy to bike/bus/metro your way around.

I guess he meant compared to other various Linux distribution docs; in that case I can only agree with him.
It's a bit sad and annoying to see educated people with uneducated opinions on something that is as clear as my command line. The guys are not impersonating anyone nor taking any money from anyone. Google is opt-out tool and I don't see anyone complaining. There is absolutely nothing wrong with people bringing extra attention to someone's project and if contributors are going to make money in the process, that's epic.

Yes, they probably should have emailed contributors less often but they've fixed it. Instead of complaining, come up with ideas to make it better... in the end, that's what this kind of community should be all about.

BTW, get your ego's checked... seems like it's a bit inflated... and if you are going to sue anyone, think about your federal income tax... because that money is actually stolen from you :P
It is not theoretical that bitcoin holds value, that is a fact. That it shouldn't, or won't at some point in the future is the theory.

There is just no interest in making it legal because it is a cash crop that anyone can grow and benefit from.

There is more to marijuana then it being a recreational drug. It is also a very valuable material that can be used in a variety of other products. Search hemp products on google and you will find a variety of uses.

The fact that we have outlawed hemp in human society is insanity but it makes sense in the context of big business and competition. Do some research on what is takes to grow cotton vs growing hemp.

"The "fabric of our lives" needs approximately twice as much territory as hemp per ton of finished textile, the land-use miser of the bunch. Further complicating matters is the inverse relationship between chemical use and land requirements." - [1]

Hemp is a plant that is so valuable for its use in products, and it is really easy for anyone to grow. It's a weed, its grows like crazy! Doesn't sound very profitable from a big business perspective does it?

I do most of my listening in the car so skipping out on ads isn't exactly high priority. And I'll also say that the quality of ads is extremely high on most of the podcasts I listen to. Gruber's podcast and the Accidental Tech Podcast aren't just listing off a random pitch from some random company. They have discussions about the products, they've used the products themselves, most placements include discount codes, and advertisers have to love it. I actually don't mind the ads because they feel engrained into the show, it's a great model.
