The real pity is, I believe allowing this type of immigration would actually create more jobs than it would displace.
Uber, for example, has more operational employees than engineers, and creates many more jobs for drivers.
These are the jobs of the next generation, and if they aren't created here, they'll simply be created elsewhere. So even if you buy the fundamental assertion of the anti immigration argument, I still consider it deeply flawed.
Of course, major lobbying industries probably would be displaced with a stronger tech industry. I wonder if this is a factor in the current immigration climate?
I still think this is an abuse of down-vote priviledges... downvote should be used to bury non-constructive comments, not express disagreement with a point or behavior. (That's what comments are for.)
Technically, quantum refers to physics at the atomic / subatomic scale, and not necessarily to the spooky effects like particle wave duality and such that we usually attribute to the term.
So, I believe this would be an "effect on the quantum level," even if it can be understood through the lens of more traditional electromagnetic physics as well.
Don't work for a startup. At least, not as a "developer for hire" to work on whatever they need.
In my experience (albeit in U.S./ USD), those rates come to people with solid programming reputation, IN ADDITION TO a deep domain knowledge in a market with a lot of money.
(knowledge of the finance world like HFT algorithms, marketing skills like conversion optimization, high security clearance, etc.)
Take a look at DuckDuckGo (if you prefer independent entrepreneurial upstart) or Bing (if you prefer massive well funded corporate competitor) to see what getting in the ring with Google looks like.
Bad developers do have that power. But best practice is to use a SyncAdapter, which works very similarly.
Actually, one of the biggest savings comes from apps all syncing at about the same time... firing up the cell modem is expensive, cheaper to do a bunch of transfers at once than spread out over time.
Android has had "Sync Adapters" since the beginning, a very cool and powerful framework that allows apps to piggy back off each other's data connections, reducing the number of times the cell modem needs to be fired up for background fetches.
Not a new concept, I'm sure the patent battle lines are already well drawn.
Actually, only a supernova or equivalent energy magnitude event.
Fusion only releases energy up to iron. Creating heavier elements consume energy in the reaction rather than releasing it, therefore cannot sustain a reaction.
Paul, curious if your enthusiasm for twitter has waned in light of the direction they have taken since? Obviously it is still an influential platform, but the grand vision we all had doesn't seem to be materializing...
When you consider that distributed repositories are going to be cloned dozens, hundreds, or thousands of times, it starts to add up.
Even if this larger project could handle that bandwidth, it is a significant factor for smaller projects, or larger projects like github. Meaning more of a chance that git remains the dominant choice.
There are some pretty serious potential health consequences for the improper use of such a device.
In this case, I actually don't blame Google for keeping things locked down a bit until those are better understood.
The best I would hope for is for them to provide some amount of support for custom OEMs... but allowing people to do whatever they want on the device without some real barriers / safeguards would expose them to enormous liability.
I'm pretty sure this outcome is exactly what Google wants. Hardest tickets to get in town, even with a $900 price tag. Why else would they continue to give away such great swag at an event with such high demand?
On the up side, streaming basically the entire event for free does calm the righteous indignation to a degree.
Still, it would have been nice to get a chance to meet and chat with other people working on the platforms I use.
The number of calories you burn isn't just a minor detail you can brush away.
Some sources of energy turn preferentially into fat, others promote a higher burning base metabolism. And when you say weight, you're ignoring other factors like muscle mass, water retention, others, that aren't really what we mean when we say lose weight. (Although incidentally, cutting carbs decreases water retention which is one very valid counter to the low-carb weight loss claims.)
Ignoring the very direct counter-statement by OP that he increased his caloric intake and still found success cannot be dismissed.
I agree with you, but I also agree with the original sentiment.
I think the difference is, he is talking about, in the past, forcing the external circumstances of his life to conform to some ideal, where as now, he accepts that this isn't possible.
You, on the other hand, are talking about fighting your own internal battle to make yourself the best you can be. Your battle does sound exceptionally difficult, but we all fight that one.
I think maybe the point that I take away from all of this is, you can't always change the world. But (with a lot of hard work) you can change how you react to it. And that's the more important battle than any external circumstance anyway.
