PowerPoint is an accessible mode of persuasion. The journal articles is a more elite mode.

The massive wall of text with long paragraphs; the numbered footnotes; the long list of references that nobody will read; the availability of a PDF as a kind of indicator that the material is printworthy and serious; the obsessive numbering of pictures as "figures"; the use of academic shibboleths like contextualize, performative, forms of sociality, critique, etc; the refusal to summarize an argument; the namedropping of historical studies to give an impression of endless scholarly depth; the vaguely critical attitude that carefully avoids explicit moral judgments; the long-winded "narrative" form like a New Yorker reportage mixed with excerpts from monographs and textbooks.

McLuhan once said that when reading texts for research, he skips the odd pages and only reads the even ones, because he had observed "a huge amount of redundancy in texts" and that having to fill out the remaining pages with his imagination kept him alert and wakeful...

This article, which I enjoyed skimming, if you think about in terms of "the medium being the message", seems like a piece of advocacy for literate print culture. The authors mention designing and inventing new and interesting forms of communication and persuasion beyond PowerPoint—but their own choice of form is highly conservative.
Although missing this scene their movie is one of the most underrated movies I have ever seen. It has such a low view count and I think it is such a inspirational movie for young adults along with quite a sly humor.

I’ve lived in Dubai for a year as a white person. I hated it, people are very pretentious and pretty much only care about money, I guess that can be expected as that as mostly the reason people go there.. One thing I noticed a lot is the insane work hours Indians go through there, and down right racism, I know that the germans work hard too but quality of life has to be better in Germany.

Even considering all of this you are losing out on a lot of money moving to Berlin. I left Dubai to work remotely in CPH and love it so far

The cost of editing flip chart sheets is huge in time and inconvenience.

Maybe I misunderstood this, but basically you got 1 bfx token for each dollar that was stolen due to the hack. As people sold bfx tokens at lower prices than $1, (in part, because the us announced this was not ok, in part due to varying confidence in bfx ability to repay,) bitfinex could rebuy some of those tokens at a discount, and clear them to itself at a fraction of the cost

There were also occasionally rolling rebuys of bfx tokens at the face value of $1.

Berlin is way better than Dubai. Berlin has more atmosphere and is not that "american" like Dubai. Berlin has a big developer scene and millions of startups and meetups. But remember, weather is not that nice in Germany :D

Losing Chris Lattner was a real shame on that score, but Apple does seem to be an organisation that can walk and chew gum at the same time. They have top flight hardware guys and top flight software guys and I don't see the software guys losing focus because of something the hardware guys are doing. On the contrary the two sids of the business seems to constantly challenge each other push the envelope that bit further.

There are risks. They don't seem to think AR or VR headsets are worth pursuing. I happen to think they are right and they are correctly avoiding an expensive and distracting technological cul de sac, but one of these days there is a chance they will call something like that wrong and miss something important.
To emphasize this point, just the other day my 4-year-old asked me "how do seeds inside tomatoes grow?"

The total tax burden for well-earned singles is rather roughly. 50%. After you can deduct some lump sums from your tax, we expect 40% for the tax. However, since you also have an employee's share of the health insurance, you should stay at 50% for the time being.

A small apartment, or a room is around 400 EUR warm if you have little claim to location and equipment. Find out more at immonet. de. The user interface is simple and even if you don't know German, you should be able to use it.

The cost of living for a geek who lives sparingly would be 400 EUR per month. Insurance and miscellaneous costs 150 EUR.

Leaves you with
5000 * 0,5 - 400 - 400 - 400 - 150 = 1550 EUR should be doable as a monthly saving. With a buffer, a monthly saving of 1400 EUR should be possible.

60000 EUR annual salary is ok for the beginning. If you perform well, you should earn a six-digit salary as a Senior Software Engineer, especially in Hamburg, Munich and Düsseldorf. To do this, however, you would have to set the right course at your first job in Germany and not start with less than 75,000.
Seriously curious about this. If not these ones, what other microcontrollers have decent or better rust support? Is there a list somewhere?

You will have to pay up to 42% in taxes and security expenditures. You will not be able to save much in Germany as the state takes most of your money. Berlin is not as expensive as Paris or London but the rent costs went up in the past 7 years. The weather is also very shitty.

You will have to wait / work at least 7 years to get German citizenship.

I've been to Dubai for vacation, and I found it pretty boring TBH. In Europe you'll have more opportunities to find something interesting, even if now you're a type of guy who would spend much of his time in front of the laptop. Maybe that's because there is just boring in Dubai?

Well, Gambling Disorder is a recognized psychological diagnosis in DSM 5[0], so I guess the reader will have to weigh the credibility of the industry's claims vs all the other evidence around.

Also, from your comments I assume you rarely meet a representative sample of your customers. I did, and that experience ALSO matched my other claims. You do you of course, and I know where you're coming from: I too built gambling software for five years before I went to work with problem gambling. If integrity is important to you though, you should read up on the subject (Addictive by design is a good book), meet some of your customers, and take your own and your company's self-interest biases into account.

tl;dr yes you absolutely should

Yes you should move to Berlin if you have the chance to get permanent residency or even the citizenship. If you live in Germany, you live in Europe and can relocate to another country within the EU easily. The German citizenship is THE most valuable in the world ( http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/lists/most-powerful-passpo... ). The German economy is one of the strongest in the world. You'll live in a free, welcoming and open democracy. I wouldn't care so much about the perks, but about the fact that you're in the EU, and specifically in Germany.

ps: If you got so far to get a job offer with relocation in Germany, you'll also easily find another job here. Maybe not in Berlin, but Munich for example has all the big names: Google, Microsoft, IBM, Autodesk, Salesforce, (the list goes on and is really long).

As a well earning IT professional you should be able to apply for the so called blue card. http://www.bluecard-eu.de/
No, that time is over, except maybe in the outside districts. Lots of rooms in the central areas are more expensive than that.
5000 € "brutto" per month is a good salary in eastern Germany.
You will receive around 3300 € per month "netto". The difference pays for taxes, pension insurance, health care, unemployment insurance and nursing care insurance.

Rent is quite high at the moment in Berlin as well as in almost any larger city in Europe. It's unlikely that you will be able to find a flat for less than 500 € per month. Depending on your habits, you can get by comfortably with 500 € for food and beverages monthly. This will leave you with at least 2000 € per month for savings.

A 13th salary and 30 days of holidays are quite common in Germany, the latter being a requirement for me personally.
Companys that only give you 24 days/year make a cheap impression on me - this is the bare minimum that is required by law but it is uncommon for larger companys.

Also note that you'll only be allowed to apply for permanent residency after 5 years of work.

My advice would be to keep looking. Not because the money isn't good enough, but because the company makes the impression of being cheap to its employees.
The waybackmachine link didn't work for me either. Thanks for the new one.

It's very hard to see a reason for you to move to Berlin. You will gain a net ("in hand") salary much lower than your actual salary because in Europe there's not only the taxes that are deducted from your salary, but also contributions for health assurance, for retirement and for social security (and sometimes many other "small" things). All these things can add up to ~50% of your salary. And see this: " People earning more than EUR 52,882 per year are subject to a tax rate of 42%." and "In addition to Lohnsteuer, you have to pay the so-called solidarity surcharge (5.5% of your income tax)".

from here: https://www.internations.org/germany-expats/guide/15984-soci...

If I were you, I wouldn't move.
I lived in Berlin for 9 months and it was an awesome place to be. I quite enjoyed the nightlife there too :)

For apartment, prepare to spend around €800 peek around here:

http://www.wg-gesucht.de/wg-zimmer-in-Berlin.8.0.1.0.html

Monthly expenses for food, drinks, socializing would be anywhere between €300 - €600

Try to calculate your net salary:

On 2900 net, I'm not sure if I moved there although I lived on significantly less money :)
HN doesn't have that much traffic, your provider is probably crap
If they pay 5000€ (brutto), you will likely have ~3.200€ (netto) left after tax and social security, retirement payments, and health insurance.
Feel free to play around with http://www.brutto-netto-rechner.info which is of course not 100% accurate but pretty good for estimation.

That being said, 3.2k is a good salary in Germany, and housing in Berlin is not as expensive as in Hamburg or Munich, 1000€ will get you a spacious flat for 1 person, utilities included. Food is cheap in Germany, if you can cook a few hounded € per month are enough.

My guess would be that if you have a decent lifestyle, find a not too pricey flat, you can save between around 1000€ per month.
- after tax, social security and mandatory health insurance, you will keep around 50% of your gross income

- apartment will be around € 600-700 now (1-2 rooms in a "hip", central location like Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, Neukölln)

- it's a quite multicultural city, with lot's interesting live styles and culture

- it's a democratic, stable country with a generally functioning law and state

- the weather is cold and rainy especially from November to May

- it's way up north, so less light in winter, more in summer

I would prefer Berlin to Dubai, but I am a Berliner, so ...
Oh dear sweet lords in the many heavens yes.

Perhaps this should have been something that browser's provide directly in the first place.

Or, at least via a browser extension.

I see that a proxy is more portable, easier to write, and easiert to test - but also harder to setup and hence less accessible to most of its potential users.
Have you actually been to Berlin or Germany in general before? Do you like it? Or is it because Merkel welcomes every foreigner currently... There are other cities in Europe that have a better tech scene compared to Berlin.

> And even if it were properly executed, I think I reject the underlying goal of this strategy. The whole purpose of using an Arduino UNO form-factor is to support Arduino shields — yet I have never seen an Arduino shield on the desk of a professional engineer or advanced hobbyist. At least, not one plugged into one of these “Uno form-factor” dev boards.

I have to chime in. What's the point of using the UNO form factor if you don't support the shields, libraries or the environment? It makes completely no sense.

So people seem to want a privacy-protecting search engine that provides censored results based on the whims of governments. Ok, that is logical. Did a single person in the EU willingly vote for a censored web?

Does anyone actually want the government of France Germany or Turkey deciding what websites you are allowed to visit?

Why not put all the servers in a location that actually respects freedom and not censor anything AND not track us? That would be something I would be interested in. The whole concept of geo-restricted anything is a ridiculous antithesis to what the internet is supposed to be.

Eve is - was, when I last checked - a poor reiteration of Smalltalk with a bit of CWEB bolted on top. You can get much more mature implementation if you just download Pharo, with the added benefit of Pharo being native, not browser-based.

Chris is one of very few people in tech that I genuinely dislike, because he managed to get me to believe in him and in LighTable, only to dump LT and make me feel stupid. LT was an ambitious project, promising to finally deliver something better than Emacs for working with dynamic languages and there was a chance of it being completed in this decade. Eve is a moving target and after two years it's not any closer to being a practical tool.

Personally, I need a modern, powerful editor, preferably polyglot, with tight integration with languages runtimes and Emacs-level scriptability - and that's what LT promised. It could have been a real, immediate improvement in how I work with code. Switching to Eve development is adding a gorilla and a whole jungle in fire to the banana we (LT backers) originally needed. Not to mention, Chris failed to complete a simpler project, I see no reason to believe he'll do a good job on Eve.

Reading this article made me wonder - how much of the bitcoin rally is due to counterparty risks?

If I remember correctly the last ramp up happened during Mt. Gox era. They were having USD withdrawal issues which resulted in BTC prices being very high on the exchange. But it din't deter them from publishing prices and making markets.

Now is the case of Bitfinex suffered from a hack like Mt. Gox and are trying to stay afloat. As per coinmarketcap, has nearly 15% of bitcoin volume which is pretty high to ensure market follows in-step to their market making. A quick search on Google turns up pages of people asking about Bitfinex withdrawals.

For people who are curious about this, there was an article yesterday about Zimbabwean Bitcoin soaring to 12k USD, which obviously hinges a lot on counterparty risks and resulting low liquidity:

Two things to consider is that: if you're planning to move for to Germany long-term, you could aim for citizenship in a few years giving you easy EU access (+ many other countries). On the other hand, Germany is one of the annoying countries which don't do dual citizenships - you could be forced to drop the Pakistani one. (not the case for the UK, for example)

> - 24 holidays per year

This is the minimum you have to get for full-time employment in Germany. In many companies you can negotiate more. (worth noting for the future)

I don't know much about Dubai, but from what I understand you'd also have much more to do in Germany. Easier travel to interesting places as well, since you can't throw a rock around there without hitting something historic.

Well, they can also download malware to when you're using Whonix or Tails. The Whonix workstation VM can not reach the Internet except through its Tor gateway VM. And the gateway VM only accepts connections from the workstation VM to the Tor process.

I'm not sure that Tails protects as well against malware. Its emphasis is on leaving no traces on your computer. Being a LiveCD, and wiping RAM during shutdown.

I didn't move to Berlin and my reasons were little different. If I were to suggest you I would say move to Berlin and the strongest point is you can get National there with in 3 to 4 years. second strong point is Berlin is turning into European Tech Hub exposure you can get while living Berlin you can't get in Dubai.

This privacy invasion is a two edged sword too. Google is getting very good at searching for stuff you use daily, especially if it's gaming or some other media in fashion.
