Add to that that these offers still get a minimum of 50 responses and its just not worth the time at all...

The best mix of price and quality of life I've found is Taipei, Taiwan. You can live very cheaply - cheap rent, the street food and convenience store food is remarkably good, cheap transit, lots of cheap access to technology, nature, art in the city and surroundings.

I was really blown away with the quality/price mix. I figure the government must be artificially keeping the Taiwan dollar down - I literally couldn't figure out any other explanation for why it'd be so cheap. The place is absolutely wonderful and I think has something to offer most people. I like Japan a lot, but Taiwan has 90% of the quality of the life, cleanliness, and conveniences at less than half the price. Worth checking out for anyone in the area, it's a city I could live in.

They're also pretty liberal about giving living/working permits, long term touring visas if you can prove you have funds, or letting you visa run as much as you want. Only downside is that visa waiver is only 30 days, but there's short hops to lots of interesting places nearby if you want another 30 days. Taiwanese people are generally pretty welcoming and it's easy to make friends there, too - highly recommended.
> I just never thought there was such a thing as luxury software goods..

There is. That's why educational pricing for software exists (non-luxury), and why Microsoft sells eight different versions of Vista http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista_editions and six versions of Windows 7 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7_editions (I provided the links so you can see a sampling of changes to make a luxury software item.)

That's why both movies and games sell in collectors editions.

The profit on the "plus/premium" editions is far far far more than the extra expense of making them.

This whole science is called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination

And if you are going to sell anything you MUST learn it. (Although maybe not from wikipedia :)

It certainly does. But I'd recommend you finding a niche and not go after "php developer needed" type of bids because then you'd be competing on price.

For 2 years, I used it as one source of income for my freelancing business. But like I said, I didn't compete on price and only bid for the interesting projects and serious clients.

He misunderstood the circuits problem. It's not a graph planarity problem - anything significant is not going to be planar. Only very simple circuits are wireable with less than two layers (and then by, for instance, sneaking a couple of lines under a resistor, etc. - not planar).

But you do get to use graphs to solve the component placement problem, in heuristics that try to minimize total wire length. That hopefully means that wiring delays are smaller, and routing more feasible. One of the classic heuristics involved successive bipartions on the min-cut of the graph.

Ask HN: What domain knowledge should I learn?
I've read numerous times that software engineers who possess domain knowledge usually get much better jobs / hourly rates.

I'm entrepreneur minded and don't care much about better salaries or jobs. However, the corollary is that to do a better startup, one has to possess domain knowledge.

One way to go about building a startup is to identify an opportunity first and then learn the necessary domain knowledge (just in time).

One other way to go about it is to first learn a domain knowledge (just in case) which should then help you identify opportunities that you wouldn't have thought of otherwise. This is the path I'm looking forward to take.

So, what domain knowledge should I learn? What expertise is in demand right now? Which will be in the future? What would you do if you weren't doing what you are right now?

PS: Please, no cliche like "learn whatever you are passionate about" - I've heard it all before. What I'm looking for right now is to step out of my comfort zone (SE).
California is a big buyer of textbooks (2nd largest?) and so couldn't they specify their own criteria? Couldn't they specify textbooks that counter each of those Texas amendments?

Working fine from Israel at the moment. Of course, they may have meant denounced. The "or blocked" is extremely unlikely here.

There is a censor here, meaning you often here news reports like "a missile has landed somewhere, no one hurt, but the military censor is currently preventing us from telling where." And then the details get delayed for a few hours. It seems to require a fair amount of cooperation, though, that works because most people agree with the temporary censorship. Longer term censorship would be likely to be relatively ineffective because it's a small enough country that everyone knows everyone through maybe two degrees of separation.

Getting Started With BetweenAS3
I don't think that programmers should be writing user documentation. API documentation, yes. But not documentation geared towards users. It should be reviewed by the programmers who wrote the system, but they shouldn't write it.

One thing that annoys me are arbitrary deadlines. I once had a "manager" tell me that to help me out in working faster, he's going to put a deadline on the project.

Of course that's why the project was late! It's because I had no deadline. It's not because it needed 10 programmers and I was the only one working on it. Needless to say, I didn't work there for long.
It was a tongue in cheek. Like how the truth has a liberal bias.
What are checks needed for?

Was just thinking it would be easier to enable people to pay you directly via their phone, instead of them having to write you a check.

I hope that I won't do stuff to my child because I read somewhere that it might be good. Isn't there a chance to simply feel what is right?

The stimulus/response aspect is very interesting, though. Couldn't there other ways to untrain the "cry to get attention" behavior than letting the child cry out? Like responding to other cues than crying?

This just makes me think it might be interesting to program a simulation of such behaviors and look for equilibriums. Because it is not only the child reacting to parents, but also the parents reacting to the child, it's a complex system... Ah, wish the day had 48 hours...

"if someone can determine whether you get to keep your job, whether you like it or not you are that person's subordinate."

Trying to get my head around this. What does "keeping one's job" even mean? isn't there still a mutual contract, and both parties can break out of it? So the boss can act on behalf of the company, and you can't. But presumably you can still quit the job on your own decision. Does that make the boss your subordinate?

It seems the boss has more leverage, as the worst you can do to him is quit, whereas he can fire you. But both parties can hurt each other.

I hope I'll never have to enter such an environment again.

I actually stopped reading daily newspapers about two years ago. You can get the 'necessary' (differs for everyone) amount of daily information from the web - faster, cheaper and more relevant due to filtering possibilities.

Thorough analysis is in my opinion still best to be found in a select number of weekly and/or monthly publications. The time span involved leads to less noise making it. Finance & economics is the only exception I know of, notwithstanding The Economist. There are an immense number of really knowledgeable bloggers.

Ask HN: techniques for basic graphics design (for programmers)?
I am at this point again, where non-existent design skills are slowing me down too much. So I wonder what is a good way to get a basic level of proficiency?

As an example, I am not even sure how to get started (preferably with free tools). Attach a tablet to GIMP or Inkscape? I just can't imagine how to draw a circle at a specific position and specific radius with a graphics tablet? I know the graphics programs can usually tell you the coordinates and circumference with some tricks (hold certain key combinations), but typing drawCircle(x,y,radius) seems so much easier than digging for such tricks in the manual. And then what if your circle is 10 pixel too far right - it seems so tedious to shift things around in a graphics program. So how do designers typically go about it? My first impulse is always to start learning the scripting languages of those graphics programs... (Couldn't find one for Inkscape, though).

Maybe a good approach would be to sketch the design with a pencil, then try to mimic the design with code?

What would be a good environment for scripting graphics? Probably targeting SVG would be good...

Yes, but instead of manipulating them separately, they apply one same filter to all the film, even frames with now face in it. Which means some frames have no contrast in them (screenshot Wolfman #2), others make irrelevant objects stand out (Hot Tub #2). Great article.
I would start by finding the best online communities of DIYers and read everything you can. If you're near a big city, you can probably find IRL groups to check out. You can do anything alone, but you can accelerate the learning process by collaborating or, better yet, finding a mentor.

You didn't mention your present circumstances, but a good university will help immensely with this type of field. You can also make a lot of contacts if you go to the right school.

With all of that said, I'm not sure how far you can go if you aren't truly interested in it. Just keep trying different things, giving each a respectable amount of effort, and eventually something will strike a chord with you and you'll know what you want to do.

Entity Framework 4.0: Optimal and horrible SQL
I've been moderately successful on RentACoder but at times it's been a bit of a slog. I started in November last year, and have been earning more and more with every month.

Everybody says this and it's true: to get started you have to make a couple of bids at sweatshop rates in order to build reputation. I found explaining this reason as part of my initial bids to be a successful strategy. Your first week (or longer!) you'll earn a lot of nothing. Once you've gone through this probation period, though, you'll start earning decently.

From what I can tell, there are plenty of users who reply to a bid with "yes, I can do this, I have done lots of projects like this, CHOOSE ME!" So, instead, read each request fully, and ask lots of questions. I've found that asking questions first and only entering a bid amount after receiving answers to my initial questions to also be a winning method.

Despite plenty of articles to the contrary, it is more than possible to earn a decent living through sites like this. By decent living I mean $5-$6k/month, your mileage may vary. To do so, you have to have the balls to bid high - with justifications - and accept that you're not going to win very many bids, but that the ones you do win will more than make up for it.

Finally - and I've again read plenty of articles that contradict this - if you're competent and do a decent job, you will get repeat work. This has happened to me several times, and for the last few months I've been turning work away.
