I would strongly disagree there. The interior quality e.g. leather, door/dash finishings are very poor compared to other cars at this price point. It feels far more like a basic Mazda than a Mercedes, LandRover etc.

I know you are paying a premium for electric but it is a luxury car none the less.
Same here. I've seen them contribute to a project I work on but it's rarely with code.
76240 Euro in Germany. There are no listed tax credits.
For company cars it's 500 Euro/kWh maxing out at 10k in 2013 then -50/kWh and -500 total each year so this year we'd be at 400 Euro/kWh maxing at 9k. For Teslas the max is the only thing that matters because the battery easily outpaces the max (28k for the 70D).
+20 Euro/month in tax credit = 9240 Euro less for an even 67k.
You can also get a 42 Euro/month credit if you use the car at home so that's an extra ~500/year.

I've recently read about a consulting company that switched to Tesla company cars. The standard seems to be around Audi A6 level Diesels and the Tesla
There was also some talk about image ramifications both positive (especially for IT consulting) and negative (especially for cost cutting consultants in rough times). Pretty sure they said the standard cars would have been quite a bit less expensive but they did it anyway because it's a net+ for the image (+really cool :P). Interestingly they briefly mentioned that the move was a huge plus in recruiting talent. Only anecdotal evidence but they added it as a perk in the adds and it got talked about in every interview and was seen as a good driver for talent acquisition.

Lol consultants and all but I could see the same reasoning helping with recruiting programmers (we do love our tech toys after all)
What a Zenfone Camera Do
Besides being rude and offensive (plus tacky, with your meme picture), you still don't seem to comprehend that:

1) the Python standard library is not SymPy or some math modelling library, and its collections are not supposed to map 1 to 1 with the corresponding mathematical entities -- just have those properties that are useful. In fact, the standard python set type is mutable to begin with.

2) even if they were, there are versions of sets in maths were ordering is indeed desired.

So this makes your snarky comments needlessly smug and misguiged in 2 different ways. But given the rudeness, I don't think this warrants any more discussion. Have a nice life.
Alas, one of the barriers to understanding Linux properly is the vast set of ideological preconceived notions that a lot of students bring to the table - it has definitely been a matter of propaganda that Linux as a community/social movement has had "issues" with intellectual property, and if the student doesn't actually understand these issues - from the perspective of those who have built Linux as a social phenomenon - it can be very difficult to get over the stigma and dogma of the scene.

As a Linux user from day one of Linus' post to the minix-list, I have observed thousands of new Linux users come to the scene, personally. And it is without any question in my mind that the issues over what exactly "free software" means have been one of the biggest barriers to involvement - people think they're breaking the law, or should break the law, or don't have a right to unpack tarballs, or are afraid of looking at the source, or don't think its 'safe' to link to something in /usr/lib, and so on and so forth. Getting this sorted out at the beginning of the course means that the student is prepared for the real knowledge transfer to be gained by having access to the sources for everything.

Its important, if you want to become a power Linux user, to understand your rights and just how much freedom you actually have, and to discard any preconceived/propagandized stigma you have about the subject.

It's downright deceptive. Every car has different MPG numbers.

You don't see them all having an "effective price" that takes this into account.
Nah, it does feel more premium than a Mazda, more like the entry-mid level offerings from German luxury manufacturers (CLA, C-class, 2xx series, 3xx/4xx series, A3, A4/A5) than their offering at those price points (E-class, 5xx/6xx series, A6/A7).

At another big online — and offline — book retailer the reason for this type of behavior was because of the legal department and upper management. For legal, there was a huge fear that anything we released or contributed to could open us up to liability; so there was a huge, undefined, process to get anything approved. With upper management, I think the issue was that by releasing something we might be giving away a competitive advantage or insights into our operations — that's the impression I was given but can't say absolutely.

It's not a far stretch to imagine similar corporate thinking at Amazon.

It's a cultural thing I guess. I know some people who think of their maternal lineage as if it were less of a family than the paternal one. Their excuse borders religion and superstitions.

I'm interested though which languages distinguish maternal and paternal grandparents. Just like in English, in Polish you simply qualify[1] if things like these matter.

[1] paternal: po mieczu (sword lineage); maternal: po kądzieli (distaff lineage)
I still stand by my assertion. When I took it for a test drive it felt very similar to the Mazda I drive for work. Maybe the models in the US differ quite a lot from what we have in Australia.

It definitely doesn't feel like a $100K car (which is very expensive here in Australia).

They aren't kind of going out of style they absolutely are.

Buyers are very conscious of petrol pricing and being seen to be environmentally friendly. Being "that guy" with the V8 is no longer cool like it was in the 90s.

It's why F1 moved to 1.6L turbo V6 with lots of talk about moving to 4 cylinders in the future. It's all being pushed by the car manufacturers who want R&D in those types of engines.

You don't need a court ruling to allow you to do something. It's the other way round.

Of course it's fine to market a series of magazines called "_____ sucks". It's just expressing an opinion. Trademark law doesn't come into it, unless the trademark owner can prove that consumers might reasonably think your use of their trademark is somehow authorised or affiliated with them. In the case of "____ sucks", that would be self-evidently not the case.
I have worked with Prolog a bit so FOL is somewhat familiar (I wouldn't call myself an expert by any means). FOL is quite an amazing tool to reduce the problem space in well defined environments. I enjoy board games and rules based FOL AIs are pretty well suited in that domain. Modelling non-trivial domains as a set of rules is pretty tough though (+Gödel applies). Creating game like structures for everyday stuff is one of my remaining AI research interests (the idea being that expert knowledge can somehow be modelled as AIs that compete in the game and thus be made comparable).
The "Inductive Logic Programming" chapter in "Prolog Programming for AI" (best intro Prolog book imo) is very interesting and has lead to a couple of entries in my todo list :)
Non-Standard logics are also very fascinating.

I love "AI A Modern Approach" but the chapter on PGMs wasn't the best in my opinion. I think the dentist example just bothered me/it wasn't all that obvious how useful they really are. Thankfully the book is amazing and they provide plenty of references to move on :)
That being said I think PGMs are immensely powerful and my gut says this approach is the one that I like the best.
Inside the Tech Revolution That Could Be Rwanda’s Future
Hey, I wrote my own build system, and then used it to build a 300kloc compiler. (It's at http://primemover.sourceforge.net/ should anyone care.) It was an astonishingly good learning experience and I'm never doing it again because it sucked.

The main thing I learn was that build systems are really, really hard. Simply coming up with an intuitive way of letting the user write down what problem they're trying to solve is painfully hard, let alone actually solving the problem. I have yet to see a build system that wasn't horrible.

GNU make is a hideous pile of recursive terribleness, but it is at least a ubiquitous hideous pile of recursive terribleness. That doesn't make it any less pleasant to use but it does at least make it more likely that people will be able to use the result. But for any non-trivial project make requires you to implement a build system in make, and as there are no debugging tools and the language is cryptic and inconsistent beyond words, the results are always buggy and hard to understand.

I dunno. I think what I'd really like is a reinvented GNU make that doesn't have all the many, many bad design decisions from the past in it. ninja, maybe? I've yet to actually try to use that...
that makes 2 of us.
Yes, but that doesn't really answer the question. His site also has a lot of information on Apple, Google, and Microsoft, but none of it is about their considerable open source contributions.
Probably because they have hundreds (if not thousands) of people working on OS X, and they need to "do something" to justify their paychecks.

It's the same reason that there's no longer a toggle for "Translucent menu bar" in the Desktop preference in Yosemite. Instead it moved elsewhere and does something almost the same, but not quite as good.

Or why they removed the "Dock" entry from the Apple Menu. They're showing that they're "improving" the product. But it's make-work, they're not improving anything.

I'm sure that all of these things were discussed for countless man-years in countless meetings. But Apple made somewhere in the neighborhood of $70B in profit last year, so it's not like they can't afford paying these people.

OTOH, all the silly bugs in Yosemite ... apparently there isn't enough money to pay good, competent people to chase and fix them.
This is the kind of idea for which the phrase 'genius crazy' was invented.

I might actually use this some time, god help me. I won't thank you, but I will remember you and curse a little every time I do.

Throughput is generally measured in the fraction of CPU cycles spent on GCing. The Parallel Old Gen collector is more efficient in that regard (i.e. provides more compute-throughput) than CMS, Zing or G1, but it is not concurrent and thus you have longer STW pauses compare to the latter collectors.

The concurrent collectors trade some throughput for latency by occupying additional threads for concurrent work. Due to the additional synchronization actions (more atomic instructions, read/write barriers, additional cleanups during shorter STW pauses) they are less efficient in overall CPU cycles spent.

So it certainly is a tradeoff.

Of course a collector that can burn more memory bandwidth and CPU cycles will generally lead to lower pause times, so in that sense increasing throughput of the collector is good for latency. But increasing the collector's throughput leaves less resources for your actual application, decreasing effective throughput.
What I found most interesting about this is how it's just 43 lines of code, demonstrating how well modularity is working out for Node. It basically joins two otherwise unrelated Node packages (picture-tube and webshot) together, and that's pretty cool.

For some reason, such trivial connecting of modules and then releasing that as a new module doesn't seem as common in the Ruby world (to me) despite RubyGems being a reasonable system in its own right.

But it's true. Google's association is a big factor in its success. It's not the only reason nor likely the biggest now but it was important at least at the beginning. The fact is that every week we hear about new programming languages. Almost none of them end up being widely used.

Having someone like Google, Mozilla, Apple, Microsoft etc behind it makes a big difference.

I consider Andy Hertzfeld's site a very accurate reference as well as a patchwork of authentic fascinating stories that just draws you in.

However, Ron Nicholson (rhn) is on the Mac case signatures, he also did major work on Apple //, so I find it strange that he is not mentioned anywhere on folklore.org . I think this is something worth researching..

I kinda miss an explanation for what Bylder is actually supposed to do.

Gleaning from his website that is supposed to be a meta job search meets online resume system. Double bonus against it: he will have to fight against double networks effects (it is useless unless there are both recruiters and employees on it) and (like dating services) once he has a match his users doesn't get any happier, they walk away (at least in this case not in pairs).
Thanks for the informed response. Someone has to. It's like no one understands fiduciary obligations.

Well I don't know the composition of the management panel of this business. It is quite likely to be homogeneous and dictatorial.

This is the cost of a lack of diversity in a team and how stereotypes can come to bite one in the foot. As illustrated by the emails expecting the workers to be happy with their living conditions given they were assumed to be "pooping in ditches".

I would wager with better diversity someone is most likely to have challenged some of these views a lot earlier and helped the company from its blunders.
That already happened.

I would be ok with keeping the patent system only if it becomes far more difficult to gain a monopoly on an invention. The courts+USPTO allowed an era of serious abuse via patents on abstract inventions that we won't recover from quickly.
I'm working on an audio codec that's light years ahead of Dolby Atmos and DTS X.
I was going to give a try to your problem to solve it 1.3 minutes, but you don't pose the problem, so no way to know if it is possible or not.
If you're doing stock ownership "in contracts", why not just have the company manage it? Obviously you trust them if you're investing in them, what's to gain by doing it "autonomously"? A centralized version is faster, cheaper, and private, you're going to need a hell of a good reason to actually go down this route rather than "it's the future".
Software is abstract. Abstract subjects are strictly ineligible.

I remember it fondly as well. It was a lot cheaper but had remarkable capabilities. It kept getting more and more bloated though. I think version 9 was the last one that one could actually use.
Yes, its possible to solve the first problem in 1.4 minutes. Serious competitive programmers(like the guy you mentioned) has a template prepared to solve the problems so that they can parse the input easily and besides the logic for the first problem is very simple.
Accident and emergency
Legally, they can't. But if you close your eyes, and pretend they are tangible, you could see it their way.
I work for a startup that does something similar. The biggest hurdle will be to get people to post enough stuff to get a decent fulfillment rate - most competitors couldn't get beyond 2-5%. Good luck, I really hope you can make it work.

Mine costs even more, it's a .sm domain and registration still requires things to be posted, faxed, and a few operations can be emailed.

.sm is the Most Serene Republic of San Marino and even on a map of Italy it is little more than a dot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Marino#/media/File:Locatio...

The population is 33k, and my registrar (Gandi) has to email someone just to change a nameserver... it can (and has) taken weeks.

I actually think this is a benefit; in an age where the domain is the key to securing everything there is a view that too much automation and too low a price results in too lax security. A race to the bottom in terms of price means every other corner is cut.

The best registrars for security are those that are expensive, slow, manual, bureaucratic, officious. Hell, last time I tried a nameserver change it took 6 weeks and several confirmations of identity - interacting with a country office certainly forces ass-covering of the highest nature.

I'm a fan of slow, stupid and manual but of course... security is different from the whole Verisign .com .net mess.

That .sm per year? GBP 263.25

Former Amazonian here.

When I was employed:

To do ANY FOSS work as an individual unrelated to the company (And I mean ANY: private projects that may be on Github, projects with nothing to do with Amazon) required a one-off application for permission.

To actually contribute something to some FOSS project that is in use at Amazon (For example, to fix a bug) requires even more special permissions (I think it is once per submission but cannot remember).

This is to "protect Amazon IP"; you can imagine why people try and skip the hassle.
Stop all restrictions on immigration in the developed world! Not out of kindness, or even basic human decency, but because these restrictions don't work any more.

Look at the US: 18 billion dollars are spent each year for enforcing immigration laws. The result? anywhere between 7 and 30 Million illegal immigrants, which are essential to the country's economy, but unable to work, seek the best medical attention or raise their socioeconomic status.

In Germany, we have a new kind of "dynamic". Our constitution grants a right to asylum. Because of that right, every application has to be reviewed, even though two thirds of them are rejected. The first problem is that the bureaucracy is completely overwhelmed by the applications. Second problem is that even the rejected Applicants can't be deported, for sheer impracticality of scaling the "deportation" machinery by several magnitudes.

Of course, this state of affairs has drawn the attention of even more people smugglers and potential immigrants, raising the burden on our immigration enforcement. It didn't have to be Germany, who was stuck in that cycle first. It could have been France. Italy and Greece aren't stuck because they essentially tell the immigrants to go to Germany or risk being mistreated.

In Germany, these asylum seekers are not allowed to work ever. Which means they have to be paid some form of social support. In my belief, paying social support is cheaper than dealing with the consequences of about a million human beings prohibited from earning a living in a legal way. But even cheaper would be to allow them to work, like they actually want to do.

But alas, the majority of citizens in the developed countries have fear of immigrants, so they will have to learn what I just described the hard way.
