>The copies happened because since the 4th century or so the Church decided to dedicate quite a few people to copying all knowledge (all knowledge, not just Christian).

This is just not true. The most of the ancient philosophers' works were completely lost in the West after the fall of Western Roman Empire, and were saved only by the somewhat longer lasting Byzantine Empire and then later taken over by Arabs. Of course, some fragments were saved or copied all the time, through the contacts with the eastern lands, but the first really significant knowledge transfer to the West was after the re-capture of Toledo from Arabs in 1085, because Toledo's library at that moment had more books then all catholic libraries of the time together. Catholic church (or more likely scholars inside the church) then started copying these and spreading them all over Europe which in a way kick-started the Western Civilization as we know it today.

As an American who moved to Prague, I'd say that those taxes pay for themselves in terms of quality of life and social insurance. Having so many beautiful parks and so much culture right in the city so few minutes away by tram is worth way more than owning a big house. I think of it like this: I can either live in America and have a big living room, or I can live in Europe and have an entire city as my living room.

You'd have to go to Berlin to see what I mean.

The principles could be relevant (although I haven't verified (or read an independent review of) the proofs).

However, at least the execution is dubious: not only was a major cryptographic vulnerability found a few months ago[0], it highlighted that

1. they made their own unproven crypto hash, which is a red flag, (in production, you should always prefer crypto that has survived many years of cryptanalysis) and

2. they were really not up-to-date on cryptanalysis techniques, as being vulnerable to differential cryptanalysis is, as Bruce Schneier puts it, "a rookie mistake".

Worse than that, they seem to rely on security through obscurity, purposefully making it hard to analyse their systems by making it base 3 (instead of the obvious base 2 that all of practical computer science relies on).

Finally, their justification for the coordinator is also a red flag[1].

Now that I have made this catalogue of swindles and perversions, let me give another example of the kind of writing that they lead to. This time it must of its nature be an imaginary one. I am going to translate a passage of good English into modern English of the worst sort. Here is a well-known verse from Ecclesiastes:

> I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

Here it is in modern English:

> Objective considerations of contemporary phenomena compel the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account.

This is a parody, but not a very gross one.

Check out Soulseek, it is very similar to how I remember the original Napster. Lots of obscure rarities on there music-wise, I've not tried it for anything else.

The one P2P thing I am nostalgic for is Audio Galaxy - it had an awesome system where it they indexed everyone's content on their website, so you could see every file that had ever been on the network and add it to your "want list", then when that person came online, it would start downloading. To be fair "wish list searches" in Soulseek serve a similar purpose, but I loved that ability to browse every file that had ever been online!

Can second that part about stability/security. Especially if you plan long-term (i.e. don't intend to stay single forever). You get (mostly) free health-care, child-care, education for your children, including studying almost for free at universities. State pays compensation for young parents that take off from work for up to 1 year etc.

So there usually is no need at all to save a lot of money just in case, which makes the high tax rate pretty bearable.

If you are not interested in drinking then opportunities for socializing in Berlin may be a bit limited. They are also very big on pork and ham. Germany is a very stable but also a very conservative country. While Berlin is the least conservative part, you will find that the upper echelons of society in terms of net worth tend to be exceptionally conservative. If you do not learn German, opportunities for economic and social advancement may be limited. If you like sun, you will find Germany depressing. In short, it will be hard to move there. If you want stability it is a good option, and besides Europe is simply beautiful. However, it will be hard work and a long term commitment. In your position, I would trade income for residency, stability and access to Europe. You can always move again after your goals are achieved.

Ever for smaller changes, it is very well known that you better contribute back to the Free Software project - because having your patch included and being maintained there is a lot less trouble than maintaining your fork and updating your patches every few months.

One exception might be one-off changes, but we all know that nothing is more definitive than the temporary.

The only real exception is when your patch is superseded by another patch (or a better solution). Then, you maintian your private patch only until next version is finalized.
As far as vacation, it sounds normal (maybe a little low) for Berlin. Berlin has just 20 days by law. 25-27 is normal, I’d say. I’ve also never heard of getting a flight home every year in Germany, but it may be more prevalent in Dubai because there are so many foreign workers.

I'm not as old school as Braithwaite but I used to do the same types of reviews for more modern equipment. I remember being half blind after measuring the lightning levels for 8 hours on plasma TV's, losing my mind after finishing a 40 laptop test and sleeping beneath my desk in the magazine's office.

We used to do detailed tests with dozens of measurable points, making objective features 90% of the final grade with huge spreadsheets counting every specific feature of a laptop, TV, phone, MP3 player, later tablet or netbook.

Back then I knew every review in my magazine was made with precision and care, I knew they could be trusted and reading two thick pages about a device made sense.

Today it rarely does.
Go to germany. Being able to get permanent residency and maybe even becoming a citizen at some point is worth it. You'd become a European on paper, which makes life much easier for you. Do note that you'll have to sit it out for a couple of years before it starts paying off.

As others have mentioned, you'll pay more taxes and you'll be left with less net income, but the amount of social security you get in return is totally worth it. Plus, there's more than enough tech companies in Berlin, so I am sure you can increase your salary over time.

You are the only person who can make this decision. Money-wise, you'll be worse. But the big question is: Do you want to live the rest of your life in Berlin? That's all you need to answer. The way to get there is not really important. You just jump on the first good opportunity that jumps on you.

Do you like Berlin? Do you see yourself there? Do you want to live in the EU? Are you comfortable with the culture?

Video games in the Free2Play niche inherited a lot of slot machine and casino gamification mechanics. Now even proper video games of the triple-A full prize segment $70 come with "loot boxes", helix points, DLCs, trading cards, always-online that unnerves the greater audience but a few (rich) noobs (so called "whales") get sucked/addicted in and pay tausends of dollars for virtual goods additionally to the full prize game. Former sound gameplay mechanic got changed and dumped down to incorporate the gamification mechanics into proper full prize games, where formerly skill played a major role, it's now "invested time" to play ("grind") or to pay real money for shortcuts, to reduce the time to collect the virtual currency. Games like Forza 7, Assassin's Creed Origin, Diablo 3, NBA 2k17, and many more from big publishers feature such addictive gambling slot machine mechanics.

Well money isn’t everything. If I were to move to another country/city, I‘d choose Berlin. To me, it’s magic. I just love how at some places trees grow over old buildings, people are very liberal with graffiti (even on purpose), the great bars and places-to-be, open minded people...
Berlin doesn't give permanent residency per se but Germany does. You can apply for permanent residency with Berlin as your home but it'd be valid around all of Germany.
All of those are legit cryptocurrencies.

NAT is not a security mechanism, nor is it a necessary part of routing ("variability"). At the very best, it's a band-aid - mostly cosmetic and provides psychological comfort.
I'm not sure if this makes sense -- it sounds like security through obscurity. If your address is reachable, it is exposed. Not allowing people to enumerate the devices on your network is one thing, but if you're accessible through your router (internal port forwarding/DMZ whatever), then you're exposed, whether NAT happens or not.

If your router is "just a node" in between (that happens to have a monopoly on the address/nodes it's in front of), it just needs to disallow access to the endpoint that is behind it -- almost like purposefully leaving it out of the routing table. It's not like people are going to be able to guess your IPV6 address easily, and even if they could, the proper way to deal with that is to just ensure you're actually secure (and no ports are open, forwarding isn't being done at all, etc)

Am I missing something here? The way things work now, yes you can't find out what ip addresses are on the private network behind a router, but if any ports on the router are open, you know SOMETHING is responding (whether the router or something else. In the IPV6-no-nat world, the router could just forward all your traffic (pretending the router was the originating computer), and NOT allow any traffic that attempts to hit the IP at the computer past it. Someone still needs to know the internal address before they can try and access that internal computer -- and you can still stop it at the router if you wanted to...

What am I missing? I'm not a networks expert, but from my understanding of networking/nat/firewalls/security/etc, I can't see how ipv6 increases your exposure that much.

Never been to Dubaï but I have visited Berlin many times. Didn't like it much. The weather is horrible 9 months of the year. People are mostly very nice, but many don't speak English, so learning German would be a necessity in order to fit in -- even for grocery shopping.

That said, it's a gateway to Europe; if you can somehow get a working permit valid in all of Europe, or a path to citizenship, that would be a fantastic opportunity.

I would move to Berlin. Granted, you'll earn less, but you'll get a much better quality of life for what you're making. Berlin is a very vibrant and lively city with friendly people. Rent is relatively cheap, compared to Munich, Amsterdam, Dublin or London. Costs of living are again quite low.
I'd move at least for a change of scenery and cultural experience. After all, you're not a tree, you don't have roots, if you don't like it in Berlin, move on.

Well, I recommend using Tor through VPN services. I worry more about ISPs doing MitM than VPNs. You have far more choice about VPNs than ISPs. Governments can pressure local ISPs far more easily than VPN services, which may do business from uncooperative jurisdictions.

And mostly, it's just that the VPN provides another level of IP obscurity. If an adversary compromises Tor somehow, and learns your VPN exit IP, there's at least a chance that they won't get your ISP-assigned IP. And if you use nested VPN chains, the adversary would need information from multiple VPN providers. It's the same logic behind three-relay Tor circuits.
I moved to Berlin a couple of months ago, here are some points you might want to think about:

- Berlin is a beautiful city; a lot of parks and stuff to do. I personally spend more time outside.

- You would move to Berlin to live a happier life, not for making a shit-ton of money.

- your salary is in the low/mid side of Seniors, they usually make 55-70K brutto, but not a bad one to start with IMHO.

- Expect to search for flat for at least 3-4 weeks, Berlin's housing space is complicated currently.
If you want to build up a future, go to Europe. If you want to earn net more and after working go back to Pakistan. Stay in Dubai.
