Looks like you are in a tight situation regarding income/expenses. If I were you, I would try really hard to switch markets.

Here's one scenario - you move to the US, and become nurses, both you and your wife. After a few years, that will give you at least $60k x 2 = $120k in income. But you only need about $70k in income to live well away from the coasts in the US (a little more with kids).

Also, whether this kind of transition is worth it depends on how old you are.
as a sidenote I encourage all people with talent to leave countries with suppressive regimes. I think they should be erased from their position. One way to do that is to encourage everyone to leave their country. One can argue that staying in a bad country may one day help to build it up again, but on the other hand, nothing hurts bad people in power more than complete brain drain.

In China, the legal system works like this:

So they first lock you up, if you are popular and the world is watching while they are locking you up, they will conjure up a charge like tax-evasions or conducting business scams [see AiWeiWei's charges] and make you suffer jail time chance fighting back. But in case you are not popular and the world didn't know you before incident happens, you will simply disappear. [see 'countless' dissidents' disappearing since 2013]

I have recently, within the past 2 years, started to realize that I may be unintentionally self-medicating larger underlying issues and am attempting to put more trust into medical professionals.

Skipping the story book, I work rapidly changing shift-work and couldn't sleep, stay awake, or function when i was supposed to. I saw a specialist that diagnosed me with "shift-work disorder." The solution cocktail includes Ambien to go to sleep, and Modafinil/Provigil to stay awake. I only use them during the times when I'm on the odd-ball shifts (not days), and they work great. I've had no issues.

I have also recently gotten prescribed Adderall after voicing my (and former teachers) life-long concerns of possible ADHD. Low dosages did nothing, and I can "kind-of, maybe?" tell some improvements with a higher IR dose. I don't want to ask for more at risk of looking like a drug seeker, and I don't want the jitters to increase, but I'm also not really sure what I'm supposed to "feel."

Until I've recently went back onto one of those odd-ball shifts and took modafinil again. I can absolutely without a doubt tell that I'm on it. I am focused and am constantly completing something. This is what I imagined Adderall was supposed to be. The con is that it has this effect that I don't notice I'm hyper-focused until many hours later when it wears down a bit, and it's noticed in retrospect. It's weird enough that I take it as rarely as possible (I'd rather feel this then constantly falling asleep while at work, which is extremely dangerous at my job)
Yes I'm interested in Modafinil, Amphetamines can help but they have can also be detrimental as they have all kinds of side like emotional problems. The positive effects stop working if you take too much, or too frequently and they're very addictive. Modafinil sounds milder and less harmful.

This is true as well. In something like a government bureaucracy things need to be done in a specific way so that nobody thinks anyone is being favoured, there's no perception of corruption, and everyone who encounters the system gets an equal treatment.

In practice it means a lot of procedures that don't seem to make any sense and a lot of work complying with those procedures. Quite stressful for the people doing it actually.

Any knows a good shadowsocks tutorial for OS X? I'm going to China next week but I need to keep working while I'm there.

I'm always brought up short when someone says/writes "24/7/365" because it really doesn't make sense.

"24/365" means 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

"24/7/365" means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 weeks a year?

I know, I know, it's become an idiom, and it's like "I could care less", and you can't try to understand it except as an atom that caries a meaning, but it just looks wrong to me.

Mozilla’s Response to the Indian Govt's Committee Report on Net Neutrality
... usage of which would be detected, and the users arrested and hauled off for "questioning" about spying and/or being a terrorist.
<quote>
As the Committee’s report discusses, a central pillar of net neutrality and a major contributing force to the Internet’s success has been the concept of “innovation without permission.” This concept, allowing anyone to develop a new technology, to write code and test in the public, and to control the code running on their machines is the lifeblood of the open Internet and the ethos of open source. As Mitchell wrote in regards to a similar proposal by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, any mandatory licensing scheme would prove onerous and “increase the costs of creating on the Web, thereby discouraging Indian entrepreneurs from building the next Internet giant. What’s more, establishing an enabling environment for development on the Web creates a virtuous cycle that provides more value to existing users and incentivizes new users to come online.” To this end, we respectfully caution you from proposing any licensing regimes on Internet services or Over-The-Top (OTT) applications, as doing so would only serve to create legal uncertainty, chill innovation, and hurt the promise of Digital India</quote>

1. a few rich people control the entire political process by buying out politicians.

2. where there are frequent shootings and you are never safe due to some idiotic Constitutional amendment.

3. where regularly unarmed minorities are shot dead by the police and the majority jury allow them to go unpunished.

4. where there is no mandate to give workers paid leave include those with a newborn.

5. where lobbies can force the government into war and destroy lives around the world.

6. where there is a high rate of incarceration, primarily due to the motivation of a proxy war against a certain group of people.

7. where the child abuse death rate is one of the highest in the world.

8. where life is just a gamble where you have "opportunity" to become super rich at the expense of everyone else?

Sorry. I am neither Chinese nor Iranian, but I would take these two countries over another country who distorts the notion of "freedom" and "democracy" even when they have none of it.
It doesn't matter what it's used for today, and it especially doesn't matter what you or I think it will be used for.

Data doesn't got away, and aggregation of data makes it more dangerous. The problem is when this data is combined with other licence plate databases in the future to produce a map of most people's movement data.

As we've seen with the recent Ashley Madison and OPM hacks, the person doing the aggregation may not be the people who originally collected the data. In fact, the obvious problem of someone finding the intersection of the Ashley Madison leaks with the security-critical people affected by the OBM hacks is a perfect example of this kind of risk.

Finding a way to properly secure a database filled with personal information will be necessary in some cases, but limiting the risks will always be a better idea. Data that isn't saved cannot be stolen in the future.

Right. The university paid a high price for MATLAB licenses (fine go ahead and claim that's not "high end" enough for your example), so they're going to teach their students MATLAB, even when the free and open source combo of IPython+Numpy+Scipy+Matplotlib is at least equivalent, in many aspects better, AND uses a saner scripting language (Python) than MATLAB's with all its crazy warts and lack of modern (15 years ago) programming paradigms.

> If it was truely the easy to replicate cash cow some seem to be assuming, there would be competition all over the place; or a lab would get some intern to replace it in 6 months.

Okay, now I have to ask. Do you have any experience with interns at a university trying to write even, let us assume, a relatively simple and straightforward piece of software?

Don't get me wrong, I partly agree with you, nobody's going to rewrite the high-end scientific software in a weekend.

But you seem to be saying that's because it's too hard. What I'm saying is that the people with the domain knowledge (physics students, interns, PHDs, whatnot, even the computational science guys) are pretty much uniformly shit at writing software. It's a big reason why there's not a lot of code sharing going on in the scientific community: Shame. And that if it was published nobody would want to read it, and there's a rather big chance it would reveal fundamental research errors.

The real reason this "high end" scientific software is guarded so heavily is because the fact that they have other users than themselves, they know they are in possession of a unicorn.

Then there's the part where all the old professors have their (unreadable) scripts written for that ancient unicorn, so even if something better comes along, nothing's going to change much. And even if the students translate (read: completely rewrite and fix some longstanding bugs) those scripts to the modern software, the professors won't have anything to do with it because they don't want to learn the newer thing since they spent so much effort getting to know the arcane old thing (though they will claim they don't trust the new software yet).

Dinosaurs. People will wax nostalgic over having worked at (gasp) actual UNIX terminals in their university years. Except it was the year 1999 and you had to FTP to the one machine with a floppy drive to take your stuff home. Sorry I digress, but yaaaaay science.

There is no such thing as the perfect country, but I firmly believe that you should have the right to freely discuss shortcomings and solution. This is given in the USA as well as in Europe. You will not have that possibility in Iran or China. And you will have many other things denied, too. So good luck there!

I've known people that failed their driver's tests, but they were also people that deserved to fail... Otherwise, it's really just a question of experience. If you've been driving lawn mowers, ATVs, or farm equipment since you were old enough to reach the pedals, the way many rural children do, then passing the driving test is a piece of cake.

Driving is really fucking easy to do, as long as you have a bare minimum of situational awareness. It's not like most people are even driving stick and so have to keep track of what gear they are in and avoid stalling. Just keep it between the lanes, keep your hands on the wheel, put the damn cellphone down, and keep your eyes open.

> GitHub will not automatically disable forks when disabling a parent repository. This is because forks belong to different users, may have been altered in significant ways, and may be licensed or used in a different way that is protected by the fair-use doctrine.

A few years ago I had a friend visiting Iran who wanted unrestricted access to sites. I didn't have any personal Linux servers on the internet at the time, but I did have a Windows one with Remote Desktop licenses.

It turned out that RDP actually worked pretty well. I did hesitate to post this in case it's seen by the wrong people(!), though given it's a while since it was necessary to use, it may be blocked by now anyway.

I wonder if it was available because it was relatively little known and, if so, what other little known protocols might be available.
