All this is true, but as someone who moves to Canada, I’d encourage you to have a plan for housing. Big cities are tough, and $1000 is barely enough for a month of renting a room (if you can find one that is). You’re probably going to be asked for first and last months rent upon lease signing, so you’ll need a minimum of $1500 just to live for your first 30 days, assuming you can quickly earn money to eat. I also think Canada requires proof of funds up to something like $5000 CAD (although I’ve never been asked, or known anyone that was asked).
Yeah, good point - may have been watching too much TV :)

Get a college degree, preferably in CS or engineering. It’s almost definitely cheaper for you to do that in Indonesia than in any other country you might be interested in, and having that credential helps you in visa and job applications.

Once you have the degree, work for a while to build up more savings. How you do this is up to you, but you’ll need a lot more than $1000 to get yourself established in a developed country.

Once you have the money, you will be eligible for many more visa programs than you are currently. One common “backdoor” route is to get a master’s degree using a student visa that allows you to work in the country for a period of time afterwards. The US OPT[1] program is the one I’m familiar with, but there similar systems in other countries. It’s much easier to get employers to sponsor you for visa programs if you’re already working in the country.

Also, you should apply for the US Diversity Visa[2] program every year. It’s an extreme long shot, because there are so many more applicants than spots, but you never know.

> The link I posted does a better job of directly addressing that argument than I could do by retyping it here

An argument that wouldn't have been made if we weren't having this discussion. I'm not saying Google messed up. I'm simply defending the debate.
1) No doubt, the Bloomberg reporter was not technical enough to vet what he was being told
2) No doubt, newsmedia get lots of stuff wrong, and the more you know about the topic of the article, the more wrong you see, typically
3) But also no doubt, China has the means, motive, and opportunity to use their position in hardware the same way the U.S. uses its position in software, to enhance intelligence gathering. I have heard no credible reason why China wouldn't have, in one way or another, used that position to gather intelligence.
4) The longer that goes by without somebody finding a compromised board to show, the less I believe this particular avenue was used.

Was he? He was just mentioned as "one of the other designers on the team". Anyway, most superiors I've dealt with are open to feedback about a meeting time. If a time doesn't work for me, it's not out of the question to request an adjustment.

The author sounds like the kind of person who will just passively accept a situation instead of saying what he really thinks, leading to internalized anger and bitterness.
I've been told that the unwritten rule of small businesses is that nobody pays all the taxes they owe. Nobody would be able to afford to stay in business if they did. They depend on cash for this.

There's a small business (owner and 1-2 employees) here in Seattle that regularly gives me a huge cash discount. He'll print an exact price on the bill, to the penny, and when I pull out cash, he'll notice and just make up a much smaller number, rounded to the $10. On a $50-$150 purchase, it's usually a 30-50% discount. They've been in business for many years so I assume he knows what he's doing.

(I wonder if this comment will get people to start offering cash at Seattle area small businesses, in the hopes of getting a discount!)
Ranting makes people seem unbalanced. Especially ranting on Twitter.
I've been part of recruiting processes before where even when the applicant is applying for a specific role, if there's a better fit (as described here by the G+ manager wanting this guy), then that's usually the offer that is made. Given the time gap, the lack of details, and the author's admission to taking it and waiting, I don't think this was a surprise.

I said that, forgetting there was terrorism (hero blows up a building) in The Fountainhead. AS is definitely a more pure statement of Rand's philosophy, but I think she rationalized away too much in every case to cleanly make her point.

I think the argument is largely: more of the people who can’t afford bail are stuck in that situation because the judge believes the accused is a danger to the public than because they’re poor, so no reform will convince those judges to release said accused prior to their trial.

I agree that it’s extremely weird that we do this song and dance where we misuse the bail system to lock up those judged to be a danger to society. We should just deny those people bail, and offer the rest a fair bail amount to encourage their return.

FWIW: I think the fact that bail reform is forcing judges to merely deny bail for dangerous cases is a good thing. Being more clear about what’s happening and why is a good thing, especially in the legal system.
Throw away account.

There are a lot of great opportunities for great front-end and designer in US/Canada. However, the biggest thing against you will most likely be your accent and your english. People won't tell you straight in your face, but unless you can communicate very fluidly you'll have a hard time finding a full-time job.. even more if working remotely.

I don't know how good is your english/accent, but I'd recommend taking english lesson with someone that could teach you how to improve your accent. IMHO that will yield SO MUCH more opportunity than learning another web framework .

While learning that, I'd recommend picking a modern web framework and getting really good at it. I.e. React/Redux/Graphql/html/css.

Once you have your english communication + base front-end knowledge, apply to startup that offer visa. Startups are great because they often can't pay a huge salary so they need to be more creative and give more chance to people with different background. I wouldn't be too picky about the startup vision or whatever, as long as they have cash in the bank, aren't toxic and can help you move.

Once you've moved and landed a job, keep learning and improving in your spare time, stack cash, and after 1-2 years, feel free to move to better company.

But again, the strong accent / bad english is what will most likely make it very hard so I'd invest in that first.
The one thing he did, which is admirable, is that he didn't call out most people by their real names, but some of the remarks do seem a little petty. But this hopefully was a learning experience for him to not sacrifice what he wants in order to make people like him (it's a struggle I fight with).

This does sound like a failure of leadership WRT the product and internal management, but, I think we should all try to read past the memory coloring, because I'm sure other members might have a different experience.
But I think the main point still holds.
Google+ was created as a reaction to FB, and while there were a couple of half decent features, but I can't remember anything they created that was enough to overcome FB's network advantage and draw people away.

>Would you take up the job if the salary was reduced on day one?

I'd certainly tell people on as many public forums as possible instead of just letting someone walk all over me and also see if I could get anyone with influence to reverse the decision.

Do I sit and take it? Hell no. And you shouldn't either because you should have more self-respect.
I've noticed the opposite. A surprising number and variety of businesses will give a discount (and more than 1-2%) for using cash.

I have been an entrepreneur for 17 years and am now “middle aged”. In my early years, I made many, many mistakes that could probably be pegged to youthful hubris. I also had no idea how to run a real business because I had scant experience even working for one let alone crafting anything approaching a “go to market plan”.

If I were to start a new company today, I would probably lack the carefree creativity of a 23-year-old, not to mention the energy to work crazy hours. But everything about execution would be better, and as it happens, assuming you have a decent idea at the right time, execution is everything.
The real issue is so far all the supporting evidence and theory says antimatter obeys normal rules of gravity. So it really is a long-shot experiment - if it actually differs in a significant way (and let's be clear: experiencing less gravity, going in a slightly different direction - anything - would be major) - then that would be a huge surprise.

Is it though?

If you look at a less "localized" instance: Donald Trump arguably won the election because he was actually more in tune with the dissatisfaction of a significant portion of America than pretty much all other political candidates.

Sure, this might not be for the benefit of America in the long run, but the idea that unimportant things made a man president of the United States is ridiculous.

The key points he built his campaign on are obviously very important to many people, and a political campaign is just networking at scale (like any other advertisement).
To me, it sounded like they all reported to Greg.

China also produces more goods than those countries combined. It doesn’t matter where it’s made, the issue is making things produce waste that is harmful to the the environment. There are ways to do better, product less waste, but that is more expensive. The real issue is no one (well, not the majority of people) is willing to pay the price of environmentally considerate manufacturing processes.
I think the biggest tell here was that Google had discussed disclosing it, and chose not to out of fear of regulation and bad press. This wasn't an everyday internal vulnerability. And they have no proof it wasn't used. But they chose to keep it secret specifically because they were afraid of the backlash, and the fact that it would demonstrate their security wasn't significantly different from Facebook's, it was just that they had a vastly less successful product.

Their decision wasn't about what was best for users, it was about what they thought they could get away with. I'm not shocked Congress is interested in that, because the memo is far more condemning than anything about the actual bug.

As an additional note, we can't rely on Ron Wyden to keep Google in check: Google is one of his larger sponsors, spending somewhere around $20,000 a year on him.
FWIW I just tried this with my Xs locked and it worked exactly as described.

The legality of one vs the other seldom has any rational basis. Or explain "the legality of one vs the other" with regard to cannabis, or alcohol (which once was illegal but is no more).

That said, I agree it is pretty clear that cocaine is a much more dangerous drug than caffeine. (not talking about coca leaf tea, which may not be, but cocaine specifically)
Ah, I got it to work. Thank you!
Ok, this is a bit of a tangent but this is a smart crowd and I’ve been wondering something.

Was reading about the Silurian hypothesis from NASA researchers, which talks about how hard it could be to detect a previous technological society in the geological record. (Harder than I’d assumed.) [1]

Given that — and climate change being top-of-mind — I was thinking about Venus and wondering: how certain/uncertain are scientists that Venus’s greenhouse effect wasn’t caused by a technologically advanced society, a very long time ago?

From my understanding, it’s so hot there that anything we’ve sent has burned up rather quickly. If it’s indeed very difficult to detect a previous civilization in the geological record on earth, what does that say about Venus?

I have to do math at every transaction? There's different denominations (which make no sense), and some are paper and some are metal? How do I authenticate that it's a real bill? What happens when it wears out? Are you really going to keep inventing new designs every couple years as criminals learn to make their own? What if I want to buy something and I have enough cash but the vendor can't "make change" (actually happened to me the other day)?

Cash is one of those great ideas, like bicycles and music, that I'm glad we invented long ago, because I doubt it'd ever get invented/discovered in today's ROI-above-all-else environment.

There is definitely a cargo cult phenomenon going on here. For companies that value employee engagement and are willing to sacrifice other things for it, it's just not that hard. Companies that don't value it, but think it sounds progressive or enlightened or whatever, will do some official-looking things with the phrase "employee engagement" associated, but will mysteriously find it to be a thorny problem.
Jim had seniority and apparently more clout. Just because OP wasn't directly reporting to Jim doesn't mean Jim wasn't a superior.
> He was talking about the government

Exactly ... and you're proposing to use the government (expanding it's survaillance, btw) to hold back these private corporate surveillances ?

Many of de Tocqueville's objections don't really apply to this situation by the way:

1) google isn't pervasive, nor is facebook or amazon. In reality there's many thousands of search providers. Most are far worse than Google, Amazon, Facebook in the tracking department, and some are more-or-less government departments

2) "when it languishes, everything around must languish, ..." this is a complaint about lack of competition, and this online space isn't lacking for competition at all.

And lastly, I do wonder what you think about the alternative I think you're proposing. Having the government provide and regulate these services. I might argue that that would be far worse in the surveillance department, but we could also just observe that there are 2 countries that actually do this. Russia with Yandex, and China with Baidu. Both are more-or-less government departments. Both governments' security departments feel the need to have people's search terms associated with their names available for the secret service and the police is a necessity. It is not hard to find online reports of western security services asking for and getting access to entire browsing histories [1], so realistically under a government search engine they'd get search term surveillance. Do you think people using these search engines that just report everything to the government are better off, surveillance-wise ... or worse ? Because that's what would happen under your proposed alternative.

It's sad, but realistically the only alternative available under the current governments, in the US, or in Europe, or anywhere else for that matter with one or two exceptions, is government surveillance instead of splintered private surveillance. I think I'll take the private option, thanks.

The most frustrating Spotify problem for me is the link between mobile / desktop play queues. I've moaned about it many, many times on the forums and there's a giant thread of people moaning about the same thing, but it's been years without resolve.

Basically, if I don't force-close the Spotify app on my Android before I get my laptop open on the same wifi, the phone will overwrite any play queue on my desktop. I exclusively use Spotify on my phone in the gym. I'll choose one album at a time and play it through while I work out. My laptop is for work - I'll maybe spend 15 minutes every few days queueing 10 or so new albums I want to try. Utterly maddening when you forget to close the app, go to Spotify and you're blasted with gym music and you've lost your carefully curated play queue.
