I'm not sure all of them are required - to me the minimum package is multi-party government + non-corrupt judiciary + free speech + relative ease of starting a business or NGO legally. Some sort of employee protection or at least representation helps a lot with stability.

A lot of people would say that employee protection conflicts with free trade and free movement of people.
No, I genuinely don't know what is meant by "democracy" here. The BTI is a complex measure that appears to include several aspects of national development which have nothing to do with direct representation of the popular citizen will. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertelsmann_Transformation_Ind...

There is a catch though - for programmers, London is by far the best paying city in Europe (except maybe Swiss cities).
This seems like what a sensible person would do.

On the other hand, placing evergreen confidence in "TLS", believing that it is "good enough" or concluding "it's all we've got" are lines of thinking that not make sense to me. The vulnerabilities just keep coming, one after another.

High speed crypto not part of TLS that, as another commenter put it, is "considered safe". Does it exist?

Useful software that is written from the start with such care that it does not need to be continously patched ad inifitum. Nonexistant? (No need to answer. I know the truth.)

Getting something added to TLS seems difficult enough, but getting something removed seems impossible. Like all bad software, TLS has numerous "features" I do not need and will never use. OpenSSL is like a museum of cryptography, preserving the obsolete for posterity.

Long live TLS. May it forever waste my time and energy.
Maybe my information is out of date, but I didn't think Qt supports any platforms natively at all. So Qt can give you a label widget, because it's creating the controls itself. They aren't really native controls.

If you look at the Windows implementation for the wxNotebook (which I guess is the class you mean), you can see it doesn't use a nested widget for the tab label. The field may exist, but this implementation doesn't use it and instead it uses standard Windows API calls like TabCtrl_SetItem, which doesn't allow you to set a font. It only allows you to pass in a char* string.

https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/blob/master/src/msw/n...

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb7...

So on Windows what do you expect it to give you if you ask for the label widget if there isn't one? Pretend there is one and give you some kind of facade object? What should happen if you try to set the font? Since the API they're using just doesn't support it.

I think the Windows API may allow you to subclass a tab to draw it yourself and use fonts, but that's asking a lot. And there still isn't really any label widget for them to return even if they did that!

Carbon Five | http://www.carbonfive.com | San Francisco, Santa Monica, Chattanooga, New York City | Full Time | ONSITE

Carbon Five works closely with companies to build solid products, designed with a strong consideration for the people who use them. We are developers, designers, and product managers who know how to work fast and deliver together. We understand that products evolve iteratively and know how to take advantage of that fact to maximize useful feedback during the product lifecycle.

Carbon Five hires smart people who work well with others and care more about doing fantastic work than getting all of the credit. Egos are checked at the door. Teams are expected to solve problems and given the support to do so without micro-management. It's a requirement because every project is different and only a dynamic team can deliver the quality and productivity that goes along with the name.

Employees work sane hours because we value the work/life balance. We focus on delivering the right stuff rather than the most: less but better. You don't have to worry about defending your nights and weekends, they're yours. We want everyone to come in fresh and enthusiastic, ready to build good products with a clear mind.

If working someplace where delivering quality isn't up for debate and you like the idea of working on new things every 4-6 months, Carbon Five might be the right place for you. Learn more about what makes us tick by checking out what we write about.

See https://www.rinse.com/careers/head-customer-operations/

So, according to your link, Chinese 'total' debt is about on par with the rest of the world? And this is cause for extra concern? Despite the fact they have very low household and relatively low government debt, in a fast-growing economy?

South Korea's 'total' debt is higher with slower growth. Yet no one is predicting their collapse...

I think one of the biggest issues with, say Prague as you suggested, is the language barrier. Sure 50+% of people speak English, but that's still a huge transition for someone who has only ever lived in an English speaking country.
I'm not sure either, perhaps the sense of duty, training, having your job rest on being cool headed, and being constantly observed.

But I agree, I've had normal, every day people you'd see in the coffee shop line try to murder me in their cars. It's nuts.
Let's be clear, most UK Home Secretaries of the last quarter century have been blatantly ripping away hard won freedoms. Even David Blunkett, once famous for "the people's republic of Sheffield" ended up slightly to the right of Attila the Hun.

The Daily Mail has played the because terrorism, think of the children cards for 100+ years, but now every kneejerk campaign results in equally kneejerk legislation.

I'm old enough to remember some of the IRA activities. They did far more than ISIS and Al Quida put together, and it was ongoing. The political reaction was always "we will not change our society, or they win". The few pieces of legislation, even the kneejerk ones, were aimed squarely at them - remove the right to appear on TV, occasional internment. We didn't have to get half undressed to get on a plane.

FFS I spent one night driving around London because I happened to be staying in a hotel near Heathrow the night the IRA decided to mortar bomb the runway. Didn't result in strip searches or armed police on a regular basis. (Aside, that's the only occasion I've had a gun pointed at me - the Police who were turning away traffic trying to get to the hotels were all carrying MP5s, and carrying them as though they were about to use them).
It will soon become bad enough with law enforcement alone - with automated license plate readers increasingly being used.

Say you have a speeding ticket on your record:
(X1, Y1) coordinates at time A
(X2, Y2) coordinates at time B

Where X1, X2, Y1, Y2, are all accessible via your cellular data. With an accurate enough signal, your speed can be accurately measured, given A & B. All of this is becoming a reality as faster "LTE" (and soon, 5G) speeds are just enabling the transmission of your data faster to hands you weren't aware of.

The automation of speeding tickets is just waiting for a developer to sell to overstaffed PDs strapped for cash. Sending in a speeding ticket in the mail as if one ran through a red light with a traffic camera. As adoption increases, they won't even need a previous offense on your record.

I did the whole PUA thing for a while in SF. If you want to, going on 3 to 4 dates per week is doable, 2 per week is easy. Everyone is also very sex positive so getting laid regularly isn't hard either.

After a few months of that I wound up liking a girl enough for more than a first date. We were sort of living together within 3 months of meeting.

That last part happens fast in SF because rent is high and sharing rent helps.

There's an important distinction between these two predictions which this comparison belies:

* "astronaut food" completely sacrifices the art and enjoyment of food for efficiency.

* 3D printing is a way to explore methods of increasing art and enjoyment of food (certainly not efficiency).

The complete absence of "astronaut food" in daily life, with the exception of Soylent/Ensure for a small minority, is I think indicative of two things:

1. We still don't really know what optimal nutrition is, so "try to eat lots of green things" is generally viewed as optimal. People rightfully don't trust anyone to decide what's optimal and codify it as a single food.

2. People don't even want to eat optimally, they want to enjoy eating. Astronaut food does not deliver on this.

3D printing does not attempt to provide optimal nutrition, but explores avenues to increase enjoyment of food. "Revolution", maybe not, but these two prediction are 100% orthogonal IMO.

I think a problem with Singapore style solutions is that it is so dependent on having one very wise leader. Democracy is more robust I think in that it can weather even bad leaders. Bad decisions will happen sooner or later. The problem is that a country like Singapore or China has no good way of dealing with that.

Especially with China over a billion people are all dependent on the decision made by one single very centralized government.
Perhaps you're referring to the malnutrition observed in people (particularly youth) on food stamps and other forms of state assistance? I'm sorry, but I do not buy the idea that this is an issue we're still fighting today, when the problem stems directly from our own policies towards the poor. The problem is not malnutrition, but rather the so-called 'solution' to it.
Given the amount of politics involved in editor circles I don't even think valuing it as a resource is that great.
The Hague, The Netherlands - UX Engineer/javascript developer at H5mag Publishing Platform - h5mag.com - ONSITE

H5mag is the platform to create beautiful online magazines. We're aimed at graphic designers — who often are still focused on print media and have almost no online design experience yet — and enable them to create responsive online interactive magazines. Our platform makes something that for them used to be almost impossible, magically easy — and the enthusiasm we receive from our users when they get empowered is extremely rewarding.

Technically: the H5mag editor is basically a big Javascript web app. Our backend is a relatively simple data store/rendering layer written in PHP/MySQL.

Some concrete things we want you to work on in the coming period...

* Improve the performance of our editor and reader front-end, eliminate layouts and repaints, simplify the editor architecture
* Make our users happy with new, often requested features, such as guides & grids, a new font manager, and undo/redo
* Develop improvements for our editor, such as a new edition management UX and new styling widgets
* Work with us on a system for real-time collaborative editing
* Want to know what moves our users? Help them in our designer workshops and discover their needs.

We're still a small team of developers and UX designers, so you have quite the opportunity to make your mark. Informal atmosphere, an interesting and simply said pretty great team, with time for fun, time to learn from each other — and of course time for hard, challenging work. Want to know more? Shoot off an email to me: joost [dot] schuttelaar [at] h5mag.com and I'd be happy to share!
