Your advert sounds pretty awesome, I used to do a lot of low-level coding back in the day (first z80, then intel), and now I'm rediscovering my love after starting to develop hardware-based projects with Arduinos and ESP8266 devices.

One thing that jumps out is that I know many of the tools you list, but I'm basically AVR + Intel these days, so seeing all the architectures listed is a bit overwhelming.

When I see posts like that though I always imagine it comes down to location and salary. For the right price many people would move, if they're not local.

I've seen too many adverts where people want the kind of skills you'd learn over 20+ years of industry employment, with a salary a teenager could live off, and its not too hard to understand why the same jobs get posted year-in, year-out. (Not that I'm accusing you of that, but it's a slippery slope, and filling "impossible" jobs gets easier every time you increment the salary.)

We moved to SV in June from Switzerland to start a company. Is Switzerland overall a better place to live? Of course. But SV is still the best place to start a business. Trump luckily didn't impact that. And I don't think he can.
> Nice! That's the future.

I've seen the "future" in France, nothing "nice" about it.

Permanently hiring someone (and emphasis on the permanent, firing someone on a CDI contract is extremely costly, far easier just to leave someone without work but still pay them until they quit) is so expensive that almost all new jobs (~85% actually) are for temporary contracts limited by law to 12 months. 65% are for <1 month contracts.

Think about it: 2 in every 3 people who get a job offer in France this week will be unemployed in a month.

And that's before we get into the cost of employment.

An employee in France making the country's average wage costs the employer (in absolute terms) almost the same than an employee in Switzerland making that country's average income (which in PPP is higher than France's).

I did the math a while back, and after accounting for all taxes, social security and fees, the Swiss employee is making 70% to pocket (in PPP) than the French one, despite costing almost the same to the company.

If you have to hire an employee, where would you hire, France or Switzerland?
And now, so many more questions. I wonder:

- how the brain "reads" an Ikea instruction?

- is it similar to non-verbal communication?

- do you vocalize an interpretation of the instructions?

- 3D projection in your head?

- What are the differences between seeing an object, hearing a word that represent it, reading the word? (Now thinking about sign-language, braille...)

I just picked an Instruction set to see, but realised I was already biased with the expectation I had of how I would decipher it.

It's also asking that employers top up their salary whilst doing so, that appears to be the sticking point with employers. It is a major step beyond the state doing the subsidising, as can happen with maternity/paternity pay. It also strikes me as one of those measures that assumes that the good times (good order books, low unemployment) are here to stay. It rather feels like they're making themselves a hostage to fortune. Given some of Germany's success has come from the Euro reducing what would otherwise be appreciative effects on the deutschmark, it is worth remembering that governments / states are happy to benefit when the factors beyond their control are positive, less so when they turn against you.

> so expensive that almost all new jobs (~85% actually) are for temporary contracts limited by law to 12 months. 65% are for <1 month contracts.

A sign that the use of temporary contracts should also be a focus, just like wages and work hours. This is harder though.

That depends...
>Have sociologists studied this phenomenon?

There's research into authoritarianism (think Germans in WWII) and RWA personality type (Right Wing Authoritarian). Most of it is not very "accessible" to the average person.

From what I understand, RWA are just born this way, i.e. some people are naturally critical thinkers, others will say "how high" if a man in an uniform says "jump". Sad.

One of the challenges is that the cost of a lot of benefits would stay the same even if someone worked a 20 hour week and was paid 50% of their full-time salary. So you're left with potentially higher employee costs, cutting the salary more than 50% to work half-time, or cutting out benefits for part-time workers.

They use temporary contracts because permanent contracts are too expensive. Making temporary contracts (which were actually created to flexibilize hiring) more expensive won't solve that issue.

YC is still the best and most open gateway to Silicon Valley investors.

But that's only true because they have no real competition and it's a closed system. An open system wouldn't require gateways. There wouldn't be a need to be walked into a private party by a trusted club member.

It looks like the answer to even this huge roadblock is new technology. Amazingly, it's not even theoretical at this point, it has actually begun.

These new decentralized protocols and "ICOs" are going to all but eliminate Silicon Valley as a center of orbit. All startup funding will move onto the internet, where it belongs.

My brother and I lived this, to a degree... My dad’s native language is Arabic, my mom’s is English (all of us kids and her were born in the US). We moved to Libya for a few years when I was almost two and my brother was about two months old.

When we came back my brother pretty much only spoke Arabic and I would flip between English and Arabic depending on who I was speaking to and what I was trying to say. Certainly my more advanced language skills were in Arabic.

Problem is, when we got back to the states all my family wanted us to speak in Arabic like a pet monkey doing tricks so we just flat refused to speak to anyone but my mom and dad in Arabic. The only time my dad ever spoke to us in Arabic was when he was super pissed and we were in trouble or grandma was on the phone from Libya, in which case it was past our bed time, the line sounded like static through a tin can, and we wanted nothing to do with the strained conversation. Have you tried putting your three year old on an audio only call? My kids don’t want to take part either.

My Arabic is at about the level of a four year old now (I’m 35) and my brother has no Arabic at all. Sadly, I’m conversant in Spanish to a degree I never got to in my father’s native tongue.

I don’t have the skills to teach my kids Arabic and use it around the house, but since I can for Spanish, my oldest that is entering Kindergarten in the fall has been enrolled in half-day Spanish immersion to go along with the other half in English.

I think my multi-language origin helped me excel in Spanish in school, I’ve read it could’ve been a help when I was learning to read and play music– and even if it is all placebo, I cannot fathom a harm in learning other cultures and languages.

It’s easily one of the bigger laments of my childhood that I lost the ability to converse in dad’s native language. Facebook and Google translate have helped me keep in touch, and a lot of my cousins know English better than I do Arabic- but still.

My Spanish has even helped me be able to guess at Italian and Portuguese during travels, where I otherwise would’ve been somewhat lost. Obviously there’s massive differences, but the ability to pick out a word or two on a sign goes a LONG way when you’re otherwise unable to communicate with those around you.

EDIT: I assume there might be a reply to the tune of “why not go try to learn it now”. I’d like to, but I’ve got higher priorities with three kids under 5 and things I’d rather do with my free time. I’ve almost enrolled in a class or two at the communality college and then bailed. I think its fair to say that I lament it more than I really want it back, else I would’ve done it, so I should quit whining about it.

Can you name a new US law / enforcement that Trump passed which directly impacts Founders.

Trump is mostly talk.
I don't think we're in as much disagreement as you may think.

By "voided", I mean a voter voluntarily says that they messed up and wish to get a new ballot. This is done routinely because of mismarked ballots, etc. The scenario here is simply that a voter accepts an offer to sell their vote, marks the ballot in the proscribed way, takes a picture, voids it, and then submits a new ballot with their actual vote.

In New York (and in Washington, where I used to live, before they went mail-in only) after marking your ballot (in NY with a pen, in WA on a screen and getting a printout) you put your ballot into a machine which scans the ballot and puts it in the local tally, and dumps it into a cardboard box, as you say, you counting later. That's the "machine" I'm talking about.

By the poll worker's presence, I simply mean that if the vote buyer requires a video of the ballot being filled out and put into the machine (or the cardboard box) the poll worker will notice that the person is taking a video and will ask them to stop.

Rather than preventing people from photographing their ballot through enforcement, this just makes the value obtained for "buying" a vote lower, thus serving as a disincentive. I mean, a vote purchaser could just take people's word for it too if the purchaser is not worried about being tricked by "unscrupulous" voters.
It gets worse when speaking/learning more than one language. Since starting to learn Japanese, pronouncing "karaoke" the English way just feels wrong, and conversely the English loan words in Japanese feel like I'm butchering my mother tongue (at times).

So I've been to a few interviews recently to feel out the market, and I thought they went well, but it turns out they didn't. I was wondering why and realized that as a senior engineer I seem to be confident in my abilities, and don't really worry about not knowing something, because given a minute, I could do some research and come up with a great solution. I realized though, that interviews are not tuned for this. It's almost as if they are tuned to new grads and filtering them out based on what academic knowledge they retained, not pure problem solving skills. At least this is the vibe I got from the large companies out there.

If I was determined to get another coding job in a large company, I realized I simply need to conform, study, and prep. It only makes logical sense for them to have this system to filter out the huge number of applicants, but for me its like a waste of my time, reviewing and memorizing the specifics of a bunch of stuff that I may continue to never use.

It's almost like my "imposter syndrome" early in my career lead me to put on a veil of self-confidence and to "try hard" to prove myself. Which actually led to positive interview outcomes (I used to ace each one I went to). Now I am confident in my skin, and don't feel the need to compensate, which, I'm realizing, actually has a negative effect on people's perception of me as an engineer.
I would throw in, that you can also learn how to deal with pain - work with it, rather than supress it.

In my family we have migraine.
I also had sometimes my share of it, the type of where no amount of aspirin and only the strongest painkillers help. One day(night), while beeing in the wilderness, with no medication around, there was suddenly a strong wave. It was a very harsh night and I used all breathing/meditation technices I learned so far (or just heard of). Eventually I was able to resolve the pain. And I never had migraine again.

Now I am not saying at all, that this applies to all the types of pain which exists, but it certainly helped me with all my problems/injury's so far. And I believe it got me further than just swallowing a aspirin every time I feel discomfort.

For anybody's interested, the most effective technic I found, is from a russian martial arts called systema, "Breath through the pain".
We -- like most, I imagine -- didn't take this too seriously. On the other hand, the original site was quite explicit (claiming that it had disclosed information to chip and OS vendors), and given the highly asymmetric disclosure of Spectre and Meltdown from Intel, we did spend (waste) time verifying that this was a hoax; this was no more a "social experiment" than yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater.
Or you could just focus on making money, rather than endlessly chasing rounds of investor money. Investment shouldn't be an end goal.

All the media coverage is causing fewer people to apply for visas, so it might actually be easier than before to get a visa (not kidding). Canadian universities are seeing 500% increases in applications, even tourism is down, because of exactly this sort of worry.

The fear is enormous, but the actual changes are small, ergo, could be easier to get a visa now.
