   Housing is usually a shared apartment on base with high restrictions. Kinda like a college dorm room with lots of rules. Heath care is okay, it is free, which is nice, but military hospitals sometimes do not attract the best and brightest

   I think the pay is fair for the military. It is an entry-level job. I used it as an example since it is how I spent the first 10 years or so of my adulthood. Becuase I got paid crap and had horrible working conditions it gave me the motiv

   I disagree, most things that are worth anything are priceless.

   That is a two-way street. You are also not allowed to leave.

   There is this false assumption that people are paid what they are worth. People are paid what the market will bear. $28k is about 13/hour. For places like East TN this is not a horrible wage, and you can live on it. As a comparison

   I work with a few as well. I have found a lot of nerds live in the Infantry, most like myself, just needed some direction when we were younger, which Uncle Sam was willing to provide.

   It has been awhile since I researched this, but I think you can just have n RTK receivers within some distance and get quality data, you don't need any actual base stations, you just need multiple simultaneous observations.

    Please no, I do not want to use Oracle anything. We are finally starting to embrace open source in this sector.

    I am not an Android dev, so I don't know if it is possible, but maybe they are accessing the GPS radio directly and doing RTK? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_Kinematic

    I am really not that great of a programmer. I am 35 and was not paid to write code until I was 31. Before I learned to code I spent about 10 years in the military, infantry to be specific. The leadership and problem solving skills learne

    I would love to see some full Tensor Flow bindings for Go. It's concurrency system is great for data science tasks. The statically linked binary makes it great for distributed workflows.

    Polar regions are tough, not many libraries support them. Lat/Lon represents a point, MGRS represents an area. This causes issues when converting between MGRS and lat/long and back again. Also, a single location can be represen

    We have just moved to using dep, yes, it exposed some issues in our dependency tree, but it works now and I don't think our organization will be looking to move anytime soon.

    MGRS is a pain to program. So many edge cases.

    The API for k8s is great. We mostly run large (50 core 500GB memory) machines co-located at client sites. We have hundreds of these to manage, but they are separated geographically. K8's API/Infrastructure would be great to man

    In the US they are. The 4th amendment protects citizens from information like this from being disclosed without a court order. It is in Amazon's best interest to protect their users information, unless a court order tells them to disc

    I don't understand why this is such a big deal to people. Unless Amazon gets a supeana they are not going to offer up anything to the feds. If you do something that would warrant a supeana maybe you should keep Alexa out of your home

    He mentions that the mega chargers will all be solar powered. I don't know how this will be possible as the user base grows. The amount of energy needed for even a small fleet will be huge.

    Wow, this is awesome. While the use case outlined here is great I could probably use this as a remote editor. That is, I can have my dev environment running in the 'cloud' and still expect responsiveness from my editor!

    The standard deduction doubling will mean that most people will be able to use a simple form rather than itemizing.

    That is not my problem. He denied us the opportunity to cash out, or hold. If it had dropped to 0, I would expect a cash payment.
