The number of US students doing a degree and out in Germany is and will continue to be fairly low. While German is by any realistic standard fairly easy for an English speaker that's at least three months of full-time work if you're starting from nothing, if you work real hard. And after three to five years studying in Germany lots of people will have friends and relationships. Social ties matter. Loads of Africans, Russians, etc. have been doing this before.
This is precisely my issues, but with TypeScript instead of ES6 , types on this.props is worth switching to TypeScript from CoffeeScript or ES6.
>Do you plan to pay back the entirety of the loan, with interest with the account in French Francs?

Of course. You earn more than enough Francs to cover your expenses; it's just cheaper to borrow money right now than to convert from Pesos.

> If yes, is there any reason to keep the peso account locked up (for lack of a better term) in liquid assets? Perhaps you'd be better served by taking risks with that money?

The problem is precisely that: there's no good place to put that much money. Apple literally can't think of enough things to put all that money to use. Interest inflation rates are pretty low, so keeping it in TBills or whatever isn't really hurting them.

That at least, is my understanding.
You can find an official Intel source for Haswell in here (page 15): http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~rajwar/papers/ieee_micro_haswell.p...
As a Facebook stock owner, yes the desktop numbers are going down in general. They took a huge hit when traffic started moving to mobile and they weren't showing ads there yet, then a corresponding rise when they moved the ads to where the people are going. You can find it in their reports. Wikipedia is no doubt the same.
So in the end, they'd have intentionally destroyed their company in order to make their share value cheap-enough to buy them all up so they could own all of a company they intentionally destroyed? That doesn't sound very wise.
Yes. I would read it.
Samsung is a direct competitor and its headquarters is in South Korea, which does not have a similar tax regime (handicap?) compared to Apple which is based in the US. So it is relevant.
That would be one option. The current system is working as is though - no enforcement & almost honour based. It would be nice to keep it that way.

I get why Americans would do this given their crushing education costs, but at the end of the day the German education isn't "free" either...the taxpayer foots the bill & in the long run said taxpayer wants to receive some benefit for that money.
By your standards, I'm super poor, because I've painted my own apartment(s) plenty of times. Software engineer in LA.
If only there was one of these for computer science degrees. I stopped part way through my degree because the tuition was ridiculous ($1000 per credit hour). Now I'm at a point where I want to finish, but all undergraduate programs in my area are oriented at full time students. The only place with online and night classes has equally ridiculous tuition ($60,000 to finish the program).
Apple is hoping for a tax holiday or tax law change in the U.S. Until that happens, they are happy to kick the can down the road for a while.
Governments have tried plenty of ways of raising money other than tax (inflation is the classic one), but I don't think we have found a better way. While governments are not nimble, they have had a long history of testing alternative ways of paying for the things other than taxes and so far all have proved worse in the long term.

The one exception to all of this is war where people will effectively donate by buying things like war bonds or agreeing to charge non-market rates for goods, but as a solution for taxation war is hardly ideal. As I said I hate taxes, but I hate no taxes more.
I've used it for multiple apps at this point and it's been a huge win for me in terms of productivity (I'm also quite enjoying Reagent with ClojureScript so far, but I'll withhold judgement on that for now). Trying to apply simple FRP-style abstractions over state changes like Signals becomes infinitely more tractable in React, where components are just functions that return data (as opposed to most frameworks, like Angular, with their very effectful controllers and other code).

Also, having worked with both Angular and React alongside less experienced developers, I've noticed developers in general doing a lot less stupid shit with React (not to say none, just less). Angular doesn't have many strong philosophies about programming, so it's largely up to the programmer to make good decisions rather than have the framework make the right thing feel right - the latter, in my opinion, being what growing developers need.

My sample sizes have been limited though, so take this advice with a grain of salt. Also, I picked on Angular because that's the other framework I have a reasonable level of experience with, but you could substitute most frameworks in its place.

EDIT: One thing I'm still missing is Flux. I tend to use React alongside PouchDB, and thus haven't really encountered a need for Flux, but even then - I think I simply don't get it. I mean, it's just a convoluted event bus, right? What's the big deal? I don't mean to undermine the efforts of Facebook's engineering team(s), I rather feel like there must be something about the Flux architecture that I'm missing, that somehow makes it more valuable than a simple event bus.
That's the problem with corporate tax holidays, now companies wait around for another one. Instead the government should permanently reduce the tax rate for overseas corporate profits.
On my iPad the font looks like I'm seeing double - there are two distinct versions of the text with a gap between the two.
That's awesome stuff! Thanks for the link. I'll have to do some more research on this stuff.

Because owning plant and equipment and capital assets is very risky; everything gets obsolete within months and now you're stuck with illiquid items that you have to amortize.
I'm a small investor in Apple and a (former) member of Above Avalon. I enjoyed reading the free content on this site for a few months, so I decided to try out the paid version. So far I'm not convinced that the paid content is worth the cost. That said, I think Neil does a fine job and I recommend the site to anyone with an interest in Apple as a company.
You are right. The article introduce those ? + * in the grammars again, though grammers are actually simpler from some aspects.
I mean, your blog is must-read material every time new content shows up in theoldreader, and I keep coming back to certain points, like the Gervais principle series.
Neat that it has it!
Management things I learned at Imgur
I've used it recently. Thanks for the obvious effort that went into it.
The same applies. Just study in Germany. No need to go a US school for 1 year.
I don't see how it makes sense at all to offer a tax holiday.
If the IRS is going to give Apple a tax holiday, can they give me a tax holiday too?
I know that React likes to use the ES6 `class` syntax, and `React.createClass` otherwise, but the spirit of React seems very rooted in functional programming to me. Create pure functions that return data, no side-effects; use immutable data structures; minimize state where possible. I'm curious what about React gives off an OOP smell, besides the (admittedly curious) choice of syntax?
Is a German law degree a post graduate degree? I don't think its quite accurate to compare a JD to a law degree that doesn't require a separate undergrad degree.
You haven't put as much thought into this as you seem to think you have; you are still retracing the first 5% of my thought process on this topic.

The point isn't to eliminate trade, markets, capitalism, or even jobs. Just the opposite, I would imagine. The point is that a hypothetical "extremistan" future in which most people struggle to eek out a living presents a business opportunity which has historically failed to take off due to the limits of manufacturing technology. If someone can make this business opportunity work, it will act as a relief valve to alleviate extreme poverty.
That's... not tabbed editing. I have used VSCode, you know.
Unfortunately prisons (and society in general) seem to not be too interested in helping prisoners avoid repeating their past errors. Leaving aside morals, vengeance is not an intelligent way of running prisons if you are going to let people out.

I might be misreading this, but I think it's on slide 24 of this PDF http://www.hotchips.org/wp-content/uploads/hc_archives/hc25/...
While I know this paper carries signifiance, I have to ask: has anyone here actually read this and completely grokked it? While I am far from a point to truly understand the entire thing, I find it somewhat confounding that some of the most brilliant folks I know who possess Master/PhD level degrees in CS admit openly to not truly understanding the whole thing.

I'd love to see a breakdown of it that might make understanding the more fine-grained pieces in a deeper/more complete sense.
That's split screen, not tab editing.
They do and very frequently. A big chunk of intraday trading of currencies and bonds is done by bots that connect through APIs to brokers like interactive brokers.

There a some mutual fund companies that have "black box" investment managers, which are computer programs that manage whole portfolios and trade their institutional accounts at investment banks.

Program trading on the NYSE has been active since the 1980s.
There's a lot of FUD & frankly inaccurate information floating around here.

When connecting to a password protected router you are given an UNCHECKED BY DEFAULT option to share the password with your friends. What this means is, the user can deliberately share the password they know.

This is just as secure as any other system because once you give a user a password they could share it if they chose. Nothing here is "automatic" no data is being proliferated without user consent. If your employees leak your password this way, then it's the same as leaking passwords otherwise.

Again this not an opt-in-by-default scenario. It requires a user knowing a password to actively choose to share for each router independently.
They do need some better SEO or at least a better worded page title and description, but they are consistently in the top 4 results for "magic" on Google no matter what device/browser/profile I use.
We recently developed a large application using Ember. It works very well, but I get the feeling it would have been a bit more maintainable had we done it with React using Flux architecture.

My only gripe: React doesn't play nice with things like Emblem.js (http://emblemjs.com/)

That this guy said,

You need to describe what you want to do, going to need to have video uploads and playback? Want to create something via some web GUI interface? Want to manage picture collections? Collect data in the field for orders to be uploaded later on? etc. All of that sounds easy to say but can have a boatload of complexity behind it. Some tasks can be easier on specific languages/platforms than others.
Not all of your logic has to be in render() itself. You can define other methods on your component that will be bound to `this` in render(), so you can just call them like `this.renderFoo()`. Each one just has to return a single root node with optional children like the render() method does.
GNU social is a fork/continuation* of the StatusNet software (PHP, "OStatus" protocol). pump.io is a similar piece of software (node.js, "Activity Streams" protocol) written by the original StatusNet developers.

*It started life as a fork, but in June 2013 they merged and it became the continuation.

> Some things cost more in Europe (computers maybe 15% more)

Buy your computer and gadgets when you're in the US.
I noticed "give to charity" was no where on the list. Imagine the good $200 billion could do.
You can do something similar in the UK too. My brother's friend did her law degree as an undergraduate at Oxford and an LLM here in the U.S. Law school as three year graduate degree is a huge scam.
Unless Americans come in masses, I think, Germans are actually happy to have the cultural and language exchange with them.

The marginal cost for adding a couple of students is not going to be very much.
Germans are not stupid people. They will adapt. Take advantage of this while it lasts.

Not to mention it is not easy to get into German schools either. But if you are at the top of your class you should not have a problem.
As someone who didn't use whois privacy initially, I can tell you at some point the span started coming, in paper and electronic form. since I changed to use it not so much spam.

They shouldn't get rid of this.
I'm guessing the compilers got better with the modern game consoles? They should be great for latest since it's just multi-core x86.

Regarding engine simulation, that's a trip that it was useful enough mechanics were using it. Kind of disturbing they were using it though... Yeah, precalculation is kind of the goto way to deal with this sort of things for many resource- or performance-constrained systems. Always worth remembering.

I looked up the game on eBay. I can't get a consistent price because everyone starts at $10 and works down from there. Still worth somewhere from $1-9 plus shipping. Your worst project is at least helping people with bill money. Not the worst outcome. ;)
Which other times and places?

I have the exact opposite impression. Human life and dignity weren't valued until the last 200 years or so.

There were no worker protections until very recently you were treated like shit if you weren't a member of the ruling class/race/religion.

Much kinder? Not giving a shit if a chinese laborer was killed was building a railroad isn't exactly kind...
Off topic, I get why ne.wikipedia.org is in Nepali, but why does new.wikipedia.org have different content in the same language?
One can also peruse the Camlistore source code at http://camlistore.org. It was a project started by Brad Fitzpatrick, the guy famous for owning Nest Protect smoke alarms. ;)
I'm stuck in the middle right now with dependencies on jQuery for existing projects, while trying to learn both React and AngularJS. I've also been experimenting with Vue.js which seems like a nice middle ground between React and Angular. I am also wondering if it's just better to wait for Angular2 before fully-deciding either way. There is also a strong argument to be made for Polymer + Web Components as the better platform for future projects as the Web Components standard gains further vendor support. Any opinions?
Of course. Totally makes sense that the U.S. is protecting China allowing apple to sell the phones made in China and then sold in China. Oh wait, the U.S. Military isn't protecting China?

Every first world country has court systems, copyright laws, and many of them are more respected than we are. Samsung likely benefits as much as apple does for any of these things and yet they don't pay US taxes on sales in China. They only pay US taxes on sales in the U.S.
Do you have a source for this quote? Google didn't turn up anything meaningful but I'd like to give proper attribution when I hang it on my wall.
I totally agree. Working in a nice/friendly environment makes you more motivated and therefore more efficient.
Not even. Unlike lawyers CS masters can work around the world, a German Master will do just fine.
This is an interesting strategy but, while UT is (in my estimation) an elite law school, I'm not sure a 1 year LLM from UT would get you nearly as far in the U.S. job market as a J.D. So, while the title may technically be accurate, it misses the fact that not all "elite law degrees" are equally useful.

That said, it saves you so much money, that maybe this approach nonetheless has merit. Though if you have the chops to pull this scheme off, you could probably do what many top-tier aspiring law students do today: apply to a variety of schools, and go to the best school that gives you a large scholarship.
Just wanted to add that you don't have to use continuations as such. I don't have any benchmarks on stateless web server, so can't say about its performance.
Most European countries teach law (and medicine) as undergraduate subjects, but I wouldn't say those programs any less academically rigorous.
Do they not pay tax in the US at all? You make it sound as if they just don't pay tax. As it stands, they've paid tax in any country where they've earned money. That pays for the court systems and IP laws in those countries. Any revenue in the US has been taxed in the US and the funds used similarly by the government.

Now, you want to take money that's already been taxed elsewhere and return it to the US, subjecting it to further tax. Why? As I said, they've already paid taxes here in the good ol' USA.
I use it, am very happy with it. Use npm for client and server. Modular design, and uni directional data flow makes project management better than ever.

#1 complaint is that watching with grunt react-browserfiy-ing the code buts a 3-15 second complile delay into my dev process.
Will we be picking people up on the way? like uber drivers? because that would be the real value.
Can you practice law in the US if you're trained in a different tradition of law? I was under the impression Germany follows civil law, and the USA common law.
Video and audio embedding can certainly be done (if not because of MediaWiki directly, through virtue of HTML5 alone... though I believe MW has plenty of its own scaffolding), and is present where necessary for things like pronunciation, song samples, speech excerpts and so on.

Not sure exactly what you mean by "document embedding". Is that some Xanadu-grade transclusion thing? If so, can't blame the WWW much for the lack of it.
Lots of undue whining in these comments... they can do plain boring stuff too, and a lot of the tasks are free from what I see if there's no purchase involved. Even purchases seem to be a low margin so it might be worth it if you're short on time/effort.

Instead of just proclaiming the future demise of the company why not actually try it out? I'm sure there are plenty of average people getting value out of it. Besides there are also several companies that are successful catering just to the rich. The only way we'll know if this company will work out is by using it and seeing what happens. And if they indeed are unsustainable, might as well get the free help while it's available.
Author here, the LLM can be used as a bootcamp of sorts on American law for foreign trained lawyers.
You won't be needing Emblem if you use CoffeeScript and React.Dom instead of JSX.

Something like...
import {Div, P} from React.Dom

render ->

Div

P {color :"blue}, "Hey"
I love it. The only things that could be improved are:

- some components in the ecosystem are more hobby projects and have trouble keeping up with React's API, even though it's small.

- Documentation for react-native could be a bit better (but react-native is amazing).

- I still haven't found a nontrivial and non-bloated example of react hot loader config, and getting it working on an existing project seems to be a bit of an art.

- Not all open source components are listed in NPM (but they should be).

- Still waiting for more info on Relay, which while cool, has created some uncertainty about best practices.

- Fluxxor is a great flux lib but isn't widely enough acclaimed as the clear winner, though it seems to be (though nothing wrong with competition).

Everyone I've introduced to React was a bit skeptical at first but now loves it and can't believe what life was life before.
It makes sense in that it encourages the holders of capital to return that capital to the domestic economy, spending it on employees, R&D, expanding domestic production, etc.
That was just an example. It depends.

Maybe you value the relaxation of painting higher than having professionally painted walls. Maybe you don't value your time higher than what a professional in LA charges. Maybe you're just one of those people who would drive 5 minutes out of their way to save 10 cents on gas. (https://xkcd.com/951/)

My point was in the general idea, not in the specifics of my examples.

And it just felt more interesting to mention the wall painting bit rather than the bit about my mum shuffling money around various credit cards so we could afford groceries without having any cards canceled. shrug
Actually in Germany admission into public schools is guaranteed by law. There are lawyers that specialize on suing people's way in. It should cost about 1000 euro.

React is a pain to use with web components. The event handling in React blows up when it is rendered under shadow DOM, so building chrome extension through React can be a bit of pain.

They are aware of the issue, but too slow in responding to pull requests and mostly reject them for being 'not good enough'
I think it would depend a lot on what area of law you wanted to practice, and on where you got your undergraduate law degree. It could be very useful to have a foreign degree if one aimed to work in commercial, shipping, or immigration law, for example. And knowledge of British law, Commonwealth law, or Civil law as well as American law would surely be useful for an academic career.
I like it a lot for my tiny (400 lines) app, but I'm already annoyed at threading callbacks everywhere, which I think flux is supposed to solve, so I suspect I'll love it after I get that handled.
This reads something like a classic Martin Gardner column -- clear, tantalizing, and presenting a highly technical math topic helpfully for non-specialists. Way to go, Erica Klarreich.
I completely agree that this would be the best approach in terms of long-term value generation. If I were emperor for a day it's how I would tackle the problem. I just don't see any realistic way to make this vision a reality (other than conquering the world, of course) so I don't focus on it.

I agree on the JSX point, but there are a few libraries that make using plain JS less awkward:

https://github.com/af/JSnoX
https://github.com/mlmorg/react-hyperscript https://github.com/jussi-kalliokoski/react-no-jsx

I do wish the React team made their plain JS API less of a "second class citizen" to JSX though.
DeviceAnywhere from a decade ago but free?
Why MATLAB? If you're looking to optimize, that's the opposite direction I'd be going. Numba, Cython or writing C or Fortran if you really need the speed is where you should be going imo.
On Tor your exit IP address does not change for every request you make. Your address does indeed change periodically, but not constantly. The reason Tor is slow is because you're passing through many routers on smaller pipes (people's home DSL, for example) and sharing that with others using those routers.
Where are these passwords stored and who has access to them? Can they be subpoenaed by government and law enforcement?
