You did not write if you plan to do employed work or just live off your savings / external income. Even for Americans a work permit is not easy to attain in most places of the world.
Also if you work employed locally, you have to consider how much you have to work to have a good live in that location.

While many consider Switzerland expensive, once you compute how long you have to work for the coffee it may no longer sound that expensive.
What about Singapore, Hong Kong or Kuala Lumpur? The first two are definitely more expensive (KL maybe even being cheaper) but in SG and KL English is the primary language and in HK you'll be fine with it as well.
Both Edinburgh and Glasgow are pretty good in Scotland/UK.

Glasgow's tech scene isn't the biggest but we're a friendly bunch and there's lots going on.

Forced prostitution and trafficking aside, I think quite literally because some people want to.
I understand what they are doing and it is fine.

The hard opt out is not to consent and to navigate away from the site. That's fine.

The second opt out is to withdraw consent. Obviously this means that you consent but are free to withdraw your consent as a later date. Which is what the GDPR requires, and that's also fine.
The one I linked to in the original post:

"""Its failure in 1975 caused more casualties than any other dam failure in history at an estimated 171,000 deaths and 11 million displaced."""

Though I could also be talking about the 2,209 who died in the 1889 South Fork Dam incident. (“””Blamed locally on poor maintenance by owners; court deemed it an "Act of God". Followed exceptionally heavy rainfall.”””)

Or the 423 in Malpasset dam, France, as recently as 1959.

Or the 238 in Canyon Lake Dam, 1972.

Or the 1,800 to 25,000 (estimates vary) in the 1979 Machchhu dam failure.
Philippines - It's the best place to be. Just imagine coding in front of a breath taking view. Everything is cheap. No BS. Plus the beautiful nature and everybody speaks english.

Here's a quick testament about the Philippines.

For the data processing tasks my go-to tool is Manifold[1]. Depending on how the application is structured, you can keep state in atoms, the system map when using Component[2] or vars with Mount[3]. Manifold streams asynchronously join the state transformations together while allowing control over backpressure and threading.

On the data analysis side things aren't rosy on the JVM. I'd delegate that part to something which actually has all the tools built-in, e.g. Julia/Python+Numpy/R. Apache Arrow[4] is a nice project to facilitate the dataframe interop.

What if it was easy to manage mailing lists? So my email provider allowed my friends to subscribe to my mailing list if they want to hear from me, and unsubscribe when they don't.

The good thing about email is:
* Everybody has it,
* It's decentralized, we don't need to all agree on one company,
* There's a lot of clients for reading it already, and everybody can choose their favourite,
* If I own my domain, I can change providers transparently,
* etc.

Be the change. People are lazy in general and will use whatever is easy and others use not giving too much thought to consequences.

In my circles I always openly say "I'd love to, but I don't use Facebook" - so if someone wants to have me included, they need to think about a more democratic way to include others. It's not egoistic - many other people don't use FB either. Excluding them just because a group of people is too blind to notice is a very negative approach.
No, that didn't happen to me, because I know what I'm doing and how Docker works. I used it since AUFS days.
Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Kind of like the silicon valley of Holland still with major tech companies around (Philips, NXP Semiconductor, ASML, Tomtom, Here) and a growing startup culture. Eindhoven University of Technology is a major force in e.g. Solar and rent for a centrally located appartment will be around 1000 Euro. Train connections to Amsterdam and Germany (Düsseldorf) and a local airport with cheap connections throughout Europe.
Not everyone feels safe there though.
Thats disappointing. After visiting, I found I really enjoyed both Sweden and Norway, and wouldn't mind moving there someday. Sounds like that may be difficult.
Capetonian here. Crime is generally relative to where you live. Bad crime mostly happens in the extremely poor townships in Cape Town. That said it does find it's way into the suburbs and the city. But if you're a relatively street smart person in Cape Town city and suburbs, petty crime probably won't affect you.

In terms of my personal experiences with crime I was mugged once when I was a teenager, and had a friend killed when he tried to stop a mugging. But neither have made me want to leave, the murder made me consider it, but this is still my home, and once you experience a Cape Town summer you'll understand why so many people come for a few weeks and end up staying a few years...

In terms of crime in Joburg, that's a whole other ball game. It can be wild up there, and for that reason I wouldn't move there. Although the pay is far better than Cape Town, it's nowhere near as idyllic place to live as Cape Town is.
I lived in Barcelona for eight years and I would not say that my experience was that the intellectual atmosphere was very high. In my view excessive tourism and Catalan nationalism play a negative role on both the intellectual and cultural spheres.
Google has terrible support. I used AWS and Google clouds in parallel for a while and the difference was day and night. GCE support issues take anywhere from 2 days to 3 days for the first response (depending on timezone differences), while with AWS someone usually contacts within hours, if I just crib on the twitter account. There are only positive surprises with AWS, while negative surprises only with GCE (like their recent maps pricing debacle, retiring Datastore APIs, etc).

AppEngine was ahead of the competitors a few years back. But it was/is neither as easy as heroku, nor as kept updated as the competitive PaaS solutions. We have beanstalk, lightsail etc. in AWS. Appengine flexenv takes about 10 minutes whenever we change the container sources, and the GCE team believes that it is acceptable :(

Golang was invented at Google but AWS Lambda added support for serverless golang a looooooong time ago, while CloudFunctions from Google is still in a private closed beta which probably none outside Google use.

Also, I have been burnt by Google obsoleting their Datastore APIs and expecting the whole world to move as fast as them, while my apps written for dynamodb continue to run without requiring changes for years.

Also, firebase, stackdriver (opentracing vs observability) etc. seem to go on various directions, with different documentation formats, tutorial styles, dashboard styles, etc. in contrast to AWS services, which offer a more cohesive, uniform experience.

Some of us at $DAYJOB are big fans of google technologies but always end up choosing AWS due to the much superior support of the latter. It often feels to me like Google is in the public cloud business only as an afterthought and not even fully interested in it.
With projects such as https://github.com/rianhunter/wasmjit it looks like this talk is basically coming true.

Not exactly Javascript but running untrusted code in a safe language in the kernel can give already performance improvements for some workloads due to avoiding system call overhead. It will be interesting to see where this goes in the future.
Reading through the comments below, that story is seen but some people as evidence that the Bloomberg story about SuperMicro and the Chinese hardware hack are wrong. Which is strange, because the tenor of comments under the explicit stories regarding the hack leaned more towards "absolutely possible". That the Bloomberg story about the hack went against Apple and Amazon, and indireclty against self perception, all of that could make sense after all, so.
Barcelona is not one of the best all-around cities for sure.

1) climate -- not moderate, only good if you enjoy extremely hot summers

2) culture -- obscured by the tourism industry in the city. Pretty much all restaurants try to rip you off, public parks charge entry for certain areas, everything culture-related is aimed and priced for tourists.

3) architecture -- nice, but not really exceptional. buildings really tight together in the city center.

4) quality of living - very high cost of life, low local salaries

5) EXTREMELY dirty. Diesel car pollution makes the air toxic and unbearable. No walking culture, everyone drives everywhere (which makes sense, the air is toxic)

I would not move there.

I would recommend moving to Berlin. It is a small state in itself, so even if you are located somewhere outside the city, you will be close to the actual city. Also, due to many colleges and recent flush of student population, you will find many English speaking immigrants as well as Germans. Intellectually it is rich. Berlin is one of the hottest destinations in Europe for start-up scene, so you will find many free-lancing gigs for yourself there..last but not the least, night-clubs in Berlin are just amazing..

Salaries all over Europe are like that. Except for London (maybe) or Switzerland. Don't compare them to Silicon Valley or the US in general, you'll be disappointed.
I don’t really, really think that clojure is 750 times more dense than java.
Probably F# can approach between 5 and 10 times more density than C# in the right conditions.
The 750 times less is simply false in my opinion.
Any strong proof of your extremely strong declaration?
Gothenburg, Sweden.

Has a growing tech scene, English is spoken everywhere, a couple of good universities, surpringly affordable cost of living, winters are fairly mild (but long). Definitely has a healthy intellectual atmosphere, with lots of independent study groups/classes. A few hours from Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Oslo. Probably the most "livable" city I can imagine.

Finding rental housing is a real pain, but not because of cost.

Also worth looking at: Ghent, Utrecht, Thessaloniki.
As a local I can confirm, Vilnius has became very strong with its startup community. A lot of international businesses are moving in, a lot of big companies are already in. And that all gathers around the smaller companies and startups.

Super cheap 1-gig internet, super cheap unlimited data mobile LTE / 5G, great food and people. Accommodation is somewhat average, 500-600 euros for a flat in the city centre on average.

Problem with the facebook exporter are:

- All comments are missing. Even the ones you wrote yourself!

- There are no images in the timeline.

- The number of likes and shares is missing on the posts.

Before I delete my account, I wanted to have a more decent backup of my timeline. I looked into printing out the timeline, exporting it as pdf, full-page screenshots, massaging the DOM/HTML. I could get none of this working, with acceptable effort.

Eventually I went throught the whole timeline (100s of posts!) and screenshotted each one individually. To make this process a little less tedious I changed the OSX keyboard shortcut for full page scrrenshot to F1, so I could use the following combo:

There are some smaller German cities like Göttingen which have - in my opinion - a high intellectual atmosphere because they are so called university-cities: lot's of students and academics in a rather small city. And, in comparison with big cities like Berlin or Munich, the rents are much cheaper: from what I know you pay 2/3 to half of the price for the same amount of space.
Example: a flat with 55-60 qm is about 600-900€ in Berlin, and about 400-600€ in Göttingen.

Well.. and if you don't mind high rents: Berlin as the German Silicon Valley has tons of job offers for you, highly diverse and open-minded people and there would be no language barrier because so many people here speak English.
this is broken - it should shred only half of the painting xD
I regularly visit from London. While I have yet to explore the startup community, I do love the surroundings. My Danish is terrible (but slowly improving!) and it definitely helps that almost everyone speaks English. I believe English is taught in schools early, and TV and movies are subtitled rather than dubbed over.

I believe Google also have an office here in Aabogade.

I'm looking to move, find work or work remotely in Aarhus but Brexit has thrown a spanner in the works.

Any hints to give me a head start on exploring the startup community here?

Why throw politics into it?
You can find senior positions up to 5000-6000EU. That's the good part. Unfortunately, I wouldn't call it a city with a good intellectual atmosphere. I suspect it's one of the worst places if ranked by this factor - it's full with sketchy people in sketchy "businesses", corruption and low level of education.

Just need to say that I really appreciate different people taking different approaches to ad security and privacy enhancement. I have so distressed by the amount of malware that has been infecting people's networks from mainstream sites it scares the dickens out of me.

The privacy things also really disturbs me.

I don't mind seeing an ad and you getting paid for it when I read the latest changes to the HPV guidance from the FDA for example, but I don't want multiple evil places like "addthis" "add-to-'any" and the likes to be creating some kind of profile and selling it.

The newspaper ads did not tell others that I read the "whatever article" in the paper.

I also can not stand moving ads. SO many really good articles are ruined by animated gifs/mp4s jumping for attention. It saddens me, and likely the authors of really good long form articles, I think from the Atlantic and NYTImes recently I was taken out of the feeling and captivating moments of articles to look at the moving distractions next to them many times.

This not only made articles take twice as long to read, but made them much less impactful, and harder to remember.

These are some of the reasons I posted a while back (http://www.ideasandwritings.com/2016/adblock-into-fairblock/ ) the desire to have an ad-blocker with some 2 way communication so I could have settings that block all third party ads, and moving ads, but would gladly accept static self served ads from sites that had reasonable privacy policies.

I would take it further and offer up some extra data points to those ads the were guaranteed secure so you could make more money and "i could get awesome ads relative to me" - I imagine many others would be happy to offer city, sex, and age for example, if privacy was controlled by "reputable publisher on list here" for example.

For these reasons I seriously applaud this project. It's not perfect, but it seems to be the closest to what I wrote about some time ago - and I think it's a huge jump in the right direction.

I applaud all the attempts, ad blockers, micro payments, different models for payments and attention - lets try everything and find what works for different people.

So glad to see publishers jumping on board to get some ad revenue from those who would choose to block privacy stealing, possible malware sending ads. Now if we can fine tune it a bit more I'd love to see some back and forth discussion between my browser and the ad server. (no alcohol ads, yes to tech, static only please, male, etc)

Heck I might actually click and buy to support more if the ads get better, not just more attention stealing which seems to be the race to the outrageous that clickbait and such is going.

Maybe this will start to force some changes.

Marijuana is not typically physiologically addictive in the sense that you would crawl through a cesspit and inject it into the corner of your eye just to avoid the state of not having any.

There are some withdrawal symptoms from (usually very) heavy marijuana use, but they do not drive people to seek out the drug like nicotine or heroin does, in fact often the user doesn't realise the symptom is related to marijuana. Alcohol is much worse in this regard, both in the harm that comes from heavy use and the severity of withdrawal symptoms.
Does the above hold if you're female?

While prices have long been rising here in Utah, they are still a pitance relative to SV/SF you could set up near the University of Utah (or BYU if you’re okay with the oft times awkward happy valley vibe) for what should be very reasonable for a Software Engineer salary.

There’s a solid tech nexus forming whose geographic center is becoming a town between Salt Lake City and Provo called Lehi. Tons of co-working spaces. It’s one of only 4 states in the nation where computer software developer is the most common job https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/02/05/382664837/map-...
it, at the very least, has a sizeable workforce that depend on their ability to sling code to make a living.

I’ve heard a lot of heresay, from people who’d know, about how much Northern Utah is resembling the appearance of SV from some decades back during its ascent.
Besides, the salary already includes social security and health insurance.
With the end of Moore’s law, that may be the way forward, making cpus with more of the software implemented in hardware.

So you've both decided that you're personally not willing to bear the vulnerability of children? You've decided that your own suffering would be too great? You've looked into the future, and you've seen the agony of bringing a child into the world, and what you have foreseen has been too much to bear?

Everyone is vulnerable; suffering and the pathetic, frail nature of existence is just that: The nature of existence. Whether it is being slaughtered by Mongols or suffocating from CO2, you are not god. Stop trying to make grand judgements about how much suffering is too much. It's pathetic, it's grandstanding, and it's avoiding the ultimate responsibility to replace the life on earth that you are currently consuming so selfishly.

70k is anything but low in Berlin. It is actually really, really high. For reference see here (monthly before tax) https://www.morgenpost.de/bin/bmo-213539703.jpg

With that amount of money one could afford a very sweet place to live easily, and still have plenty of spending money for intellectual pursuits or whatever.

Speaking English is no issue here, at least in the "hip" parts of town.

Would I say it's the best place to live? Probably not (Switzerland would probably rank higher), but one could do a lot worse. And with a decent IT job it's easy living. Dirt cheap compared to Silicon Valley prices.
I would add that if you want something cheaper than Edinburgh, but in the same neck of the woods, then you should try Newcastle-upon-Tyne. There is the same academia-industry collaboration and a growing number of tech jobs.

The pay is a bit lower than other parts of the UK (for tech), but that is changing and you can always find yourself remote work as well.
