I'd put salary expectation somewhere around 40-45 TEuro/year for starters. After some integration it should be no big deal to find a better paid position.

I won't go for a startup for the sake of it. I'd go for a permanent position for a few years and use this time to secure my well-being (housing/visa/staying permits/unemployment insurance/savings/language/integration), gain more experience and make connections.

A small warning. This might be just my impression but there are certain, let's say, "prejudices" againt Indians, Pakistan and Chinese IT specialists. Noone will ever tell you that in face (this is probably one of the biggest taboos in Germany), but a lot of anecdotes of that kind are told behind the closed doors.

Having said that, you absolutely can prosper in German IT as a foreigner.
Then enforce noise regulations and other common property laws. If a long term tenant college party house moves in beside you, then you have the exact same problems. But you cannot blame AirBnB or similar in this case.
Iran was a U.S. ally under the Shahs, whose reign lasted from the coup we supported or engineered (against their mostly democratic governemnt) in 1953 until the revolution in 1979.

The beginning of Mohammad Reza's reign was in 1941 and had nothing to do with the US. The coup (by both the US and UK) was about reversing the nationalization of Iran's oil industry, not about installing Mohammad Reza as king. Britain and the Soviet Union did that in WWII.

They have had two failures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_and_Falcon_He...

Out of 25 launches is that a safe enough success rate?

> Judging on research by Gartner and McKinsey, who predict that the IoT will add $1.9 trillion to the global economy by 2020, and $2.7-$6.2 trillion by 2025, we really seem to want to do just that. But why? The answer could be as simple as powerful: because it could vastly improve our lives.

Improve our lives or those who sell the idea of IoT and what comes with it (data) ?

I still don't believe what improvement it brings and if those outweigh possible privacy and security implications.

AppCache works just fine on iOS. I know it's a bit of a pain, but i have used it to build offline web apps before and it does work reliably when used correctly.
This article doesn't seem to address much regarding the "Internet of Things", and seems to just be addressing security in general. None of this seems specific to IoT.
But will it last as local jurisdictions add short-term rental restrictions? That's the question. Those governments are accountable to their local voters, not AirBnB, and definitely not the travelers who use it.
In-flight abort is a more challenging scenario. If you need to get far from the rocket, you'll have to factor in its own acceleration. The pad won't try to run you over, but an ill-behaved rocket could. Hopefully, the SuperDraco engines will be able to steer the Dragon away from whatever direction the Falcon decided it'd go.

Considering that "leg strength" is conventionally measured via seated leg press for a maximal, single repetition, I would be extremely surprised if an Olympic sprinter could achieve the same sort of leg strength that an Olympic weightlifter (of similar weight) could attain.

> does little to console the families of the 1100 American soldiers killed by Iranian proxies in Iraq

Hang on... the USA sent armed forces 9,500 km across the globe to unilaterally invade a country literally across the border from Iran, and you reckon it's Iran's fault they were killed?

Of course Iran was going to take advantage of the situation. It's their backyard, the USA was thrashing around aimlessly and they saw an opportunity to achieve an objective to their benefit. After all they have to live beside the self-imploding remains of Iraq, they can't just climb into C-17s and say it's over.
TL;DR: Security is a big deal, and IoT doesn't do it very well. Solutions will be talked about in another article.

I found that rather disappointing, and pretty much a waste of my time.
Unfortunately, the CAs have their policies and we must adhere to those. We're working, however, on ways to better (and automatically) communicate with them when we encounter false positives. In this particular case, yes, some have very basic string matching for keywords like "iran" -- but in these scenarios we can (and do) request them to recheck by hand.

Your particular request should have been handled in less than 24 hours (or shorter, if non-free plan). The process for some of them is more manual than we'd like, but a support request can be filed to expedite if this happens again.

Sure you can. Just run cargo update [-p] to get both of your dependencies on the same version and then recompile.

This won't work if the dependencies are truly depending on incompatible-at-the-API-level versions of the same library, of course. But there's no magic bullet solution to that—not handling versioning in the language/package manager doesn't make that problem any easier.
I cannot wait until I don't need to waste my time driving when it is not for pleasure. Don't get me wrong I love a good drive but the morning commute can do one, I would much rather let the car do it so I can do some work or watch a movie. I want to treat my car like a train when it makes sense to.
I would like to make a point that a very nice thing about the Drupal community is a lack of paid modules. There is a conscious effort to either open source or custom develop. There are not very many "paid extensions." The community seems a lot more focused on creating low level tools that you can use to build a finished product.

This is in part due to the relative complexity of setup. You do not get your grandma performing a one click install of Drupal and then spending $40 on a theme and buying an extension or two from a marketplace.

The focus on earning money with Drupal really seems to be in being a good developer and knowing how to use the thousands of opensource tools that are available to Drupal. You do not see people cranking out apps or modules for drupal and selling them in a marketplace. This really sets it apart from it's php cousins Magento and Wordpress.
> Central planning interest rates will probably never be over 3-4% again

Not until we see a large scale war. Nothing raises interest rates like a bond-funded war campaign. A war would also increase aggregate demand, R&D spend, and decrease the domestic labor force.

It's a sad fact that it takes violence/discomfort to galvanize and restore discipline to a nation and its leaders. Not unlike the disruption of old industries by the new. Except in war, you break bones and bodies whereas in startup land you break laws and customs.

I never claimed it was the largest. Just one of the larger ones, particularly as it has a community of 200k registered users all using community forums (most Drupal sites are more in the 100s to 1000s of users). It's the largest I know of offhand managed entirely by a single person and not using any specialized front-end caching or load balancing between the actual Drupal instance and the end user. There are much larger sites run by large companies with all kinds of specialized code and handlers like The Onion, Weather.com, etc.

This looks interesting indeed.

May I ask what is your preferred way to learn Drupal for a total newcomer, albeit a truly seasoned developer?
Around 1000-1500 would give you a pretty good quality of life, but you can also go lower than that.

If you're single an young, consider finding a "WG" - it's when several people live together in a big appartment with own rooms but shared kitchen. That's normally a student thing but that's quite cheap and can help integration. But that's also does not suit everybody.
When this mission occurs, it will be particularly historic, because we are at a point in history that is similar to the human spaceflight gap that existed between the Apollo program and the Space Shuttle program in that the U.S. does not currently possess this mission capability.

It will also be symbolic for Americans: an American flag was presented to the ISS crew during the STS-135 mission (the final Space Shuttle mission). It is awaiting return by the next mission that is launched from the U.S.

The problems start once your package is in their warehouse. Sometime they increase the price, sometime they keep asking for more and more proofs of identity, income, address. Sometime they refuse to accept documents not verified in an US embassy in your country. If you refuse their demands they keep/steal your package. Just go on a few review sites and search for Shipito.
Yep. I took a big long break from Drupal, but thought it would be appropriate for a project I started building yesterday. In two days I've found as many bugs:

https://www.drupal.org/node/339384

5 months ago, a maintainer with direct commit access to Views (a module with ~1M reported installs, probably the highest priority module, has been included into core in the latest Drupal release) committed and released some code without tests. Change intends to add help text to an admin UI, but also causes that text appear on the end-user UI. These changes made it into a release without any kind of oversight, and could have been reverted easily after being discovered and reported 2 months ago, but the issue remains in the released stable version.

https://www.drupal.org/node/2599248

Someone added some code which tries to filter an array, but forgot to pass the array in as an argument -- the code immediately complains and puts many red notices on the page when invoked -- how this was missed I have no idea. This was fixed hours after the bug was introduced a month ago, but the bug made it to a "stable release" and not the fix, so anyone installing the module in the typical fashion is affected for basically no reason.

That would tell me what I should expect, and guides what I'd do next. There are a bunch of different routes into mental health treatment. (And, luckily, with things like CBT there are routes out quite quickly.)

If a short course of CBT was needed I'd ask my GP, or self refer (can do that in my area, may not be able to everywhere in England). If I wanted rapid access to a face to face therapist I'd do some web searching but I'd make sure the therapist was a member of BACP. (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) (But make sure to check with BACP too, sometimes people lie about their registrations.)

But sometimes people have more immediate needs, and they may find themselves taken to a place of safety by police (under a section 136 (of the mental health act)) or detained by nurses or doctors (very short sections) or longer sections by a team of two doctors and a social worker (might not be a social worker, but another professional).

Or they go in "informally", as a voluntary patient.

People "coming and going" at all hours? How is that a problem? People are allowed to go into and out of their houses at any hour. Are you going to get all pissy if your neighbor works odd hours and gets home at 3am every night? If you're talking about a residential area with single family homes, how likely is it you're actually going to hear or notice someone entering or leaving your neighbor's house in the middle of the night?

"Partying until 3am" is possibly a problem. That's what noise ordinances are for.

The problem of web apps on mobile is not that they don't work offline. They've worked offline for years with appcache. The problem is three-fold: (1) performance is bad and not improving, especially (and paradoxically) on android, (2) lack of native controls produces an inferior ux and (3) you can't store more than 50 mb of data on iOS.

I was gung-ho on the mobile web as app platform and was sure that it would beat out native on mobile as it did on the desktop, but the situation is different. Web apps have a worse install experience on mobile, taking away much of the reason to build for the web, and because there can't be competing browsers there is no competition between browser makers to improve the mobile web, keeping it in a pretty lousy place.
True.

If there is anyone that can pull this off at this fast pace, it's these guys.

Ah, so we're on the same page :). I definitely wasn't claiming Go's (non-)solution was the way to go, just that importing multiple versions of the same library doesn't solve the problem either. I definitely agree with you that this (Rust/Cargo's) is the best solution I've seen so far.
One benefit of saving the rendered html along with markup in the database is that you can make breaking changes to the parser (like swap it out entirely) without worrying about old posts.
As mentioned in someone else's post, it is PortableApps.com. I left it off as I didn't want to be self promotional in the reference. Mine is far from the largest Drupal site, so other sites like Weather.com and The Onion have done more with large-scale scaling in terms of multiple servers and the like. Personally, for PortableApps.com, I've used Advanced CSS/JS Aggregation [1] and LABjs [2] to help quite a bit in terms of caching along with offloading images and static scripts to a CDN (MaxCDN in our case). Moving the MySQL data from a standard server-based instance to Rackspace's Cloud Database instance and the Drupal install from a dedicated server to a cloud server that can be up/downgraded helped as well. All while keeping costs to about the same as the old single dedicated server.

> People are allowed to go into and out of their houses at any hour.

They're allowed to, sure. But in practice the expectation is that these are the exceptions, not the rule and apartments are typically constructed with that expectation in mind.

> Are you going to get all pissy if your neighbor works odd hours and gets home at 3am every night?

No, where did you get that impression? My neighbor, who works odd hours and gets home at 3am every night is a considerate person and has a long term relationship with me, his neighbor. And that's why he tries not to slam the door and he doesn't invite his 4 drunk friends over to his digs for 24 hours.

> If you're talking about a residential area with single family homes, how likely is it you're actually going to hear or notice someone entering or leaving your neighbor's house in the middle of the night?

I'm not talking about 'single family homes', I'm talking about apartments in just about every major city where AirBNB and such are getting people very upset.

> "Partying until 3am" is possibly a problem. That's what noise ordinances are for.

Yes, except that if your 'neighbors' change every 24 hours they don't give a damn about their reputation they will just do it until the police shows up and then do it somewhere else the next day.
Once enough people like you consider moving over, Amazon will just rejigger the pricing to not make it happen. It's not like Google has some kind of insurmountable capex or opex advantage. They just don't worry about the margins as much. Yet.
The bank has a legal obligation to fulfill those IOUs, which in practical terms is essentially as good as "owning" the dollars.

There is always the risk of a Bernie Sanders kind of scam, but it's rare enough and regulation is heavy enough that for the common person it's not a real concern, or worth worrying about. Coinbase is regulated similarly, though obviously they are young and have to continue to prove themselves over the course of decades.
Completely true: the US doesn't need middle eastern oil. But the politics around oil are not just about getting it. It's also about preventing certain groups from getting it AND controlling access to oil to our strategic allies. Oil is the lever of all geopolitics. To understand the balance of power, the economics and politics of oil go hand in hand. It's not just about driving your car: it's about ruling the world.
