   Honest question here: I'm from Italy and here we have problems with fires as well. However, here power lines and district transformers are placed underground except high voltage and ultra high voltage ones, but those are above tree hei

   Interesting strategy. Recently I was having a look at the price of Gold and it seems there is a recession brewing. However, I feel I already lost that train and so I was thinking about buying Swiss currency / Indexes as it is very stab

   It baffles me as well. Especially considering that the "American Dream" (technically defined as Social Mobility [1]) is more achievable in Europe. Especially in Scandinavian countries which are also the "happiest" countr

   In my personal experience, is that you need to sandbox everything and that could potentially make the dev experience cumbersome. For example, you might need to bring into the sandbox an external tool that signs your binaries and depending o

   Not related to cars, but your comment is exactly what I recently thought about infotainment systems on long haul flights. Annoying, sluggish to the point I don't want to navigate the menu since the response time is in order of seconds,

   Intel graciously allowed the USB consortium to use Thunderbolt 3 tech for USB 4. There will be some minor differences, but this differentiator in Intel favor should fade over time. Here's is briefly explained: https://www.yo

   Agreed. However, the worst part is the FAA. Specifically, what baffles me is the massive hand-wave they did on this considering it is one of their mandates to check flight-worthiness of Airplanes/Airlines. I hope all the other agencies

   I think it is still a good thing to subsidize electric cars for several reasons: 1) even if powered 100% by coal plants, these plants have an higher efficiency than cars' internal combustion engines, especially if you consider the ener

    The key point is how fast the temperature changes. Over several thousands of years that change can be tolerated by the ecosystem (animals and plants evolve over several hundreds of generations and can survive). We already increased the temp

    Glad to hear :) I must admit that protobuffers v2 might be best for configurations files, given that they have the "required" keyword on fields and the generated code has methods like "hasFieldX() -> bool" which proto

    So, my opinion is based only on perhaps 1h playing with it. I have mixed feelings about this. It's definitely neat, but I don't like that it adds quite a bit of cognitive overhead (again, this might be because I'm not fully u

    This happens in the opposite way as well! In March a friend of mine is getting married in Panama. The Round-trip from Zurich to Panama was absurdly expensive. For around the same price, I will go to Italy by train, fly from Verona to Spain,

    My theory is that, instead, the brain is a super-duper complex neural network with some differences about how the update of the weights happen :) Let me explain: Albeit true that our brain is much slower than a modern CPU in terms of ops&#x

    To be a bit more future-proof you should give Apache Beam a try. The same code should (theoretically) work with any of the supported runners[0] and so you could deploy it on top of the most suitable framework/technology for your specif

    I work in Google Cloud and this comment makes me sad. Not everyone is a sellout and I didn't forfeit my soul for a nice paycheck. What motivates me to go to work every day is making our customers' life as easy as possible. And not

    Thanks for taking the time and finding/pasting this. In Italy we had a similar case when the implementation of italia.it costed between 43 and 60 Million Euros [0] :/ After living in 4 countries the fact that the Public Sector is

    I wonder if the article is omitting information about the requirements. I mean, if the website is actually a portal that on top of the UI has some automation. Eg, once an application is submitted, it runs some sort of background check to as

    Thank you! I didn't know this. I thought they introduced them shortly after announcing TPU v1 in the 2016 (or 2017, can't remember) Google I/O.

    Google's TPUs use them. But it has been for a year. I don't agree with the "new" or "Intel's" in the title.

    Still, having few people casting two or more votes is much more secure of potentially having a successful attacker changing votes for thousands or even millions. We are talking about several orders of magnitude in difference. So yes, I take

    I love [this video]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3_0x6oaDmI ) from Tom Scott in which he explains quite well why e-voting is inherently bad. I am very happy that here in Switzerland, even if we have to vote several times

    What about Apache Beam? Getting started with the Python SDK has been very easy IMHO. Also, you are future proof as you can easily switch runner from Local to Dataflow/Flink/...

    Some working categories have it, some don't. IT didn't back in 2013, the period when I decided to pack my stuff and go. Now I believe it has been incorporated in the metalworker category (see below). Minimum salary for year 2018&#

    I am one of these "escaped brains". The explanation is extremely simple. In my case, after finishing Uni (degree in CS), I applied for few companies in my area, near Verona which is a wealthy part of Italy. The best salary I manag
