Most of them depend on the relationships you create with your key stakeholders:

#1 3 years in Australia = Time to open a new chapter: I want to be a product manager and I wasn't on the rails,

#2 Stress due to unhealthy working hours,

#3 Air conditioning in buses and offices,

#4 No snowboard or windsurf in Sydney (If you enjoy surf you'll be just fine),

#5 Stress due to the immigrant visa,

#6 Not enough holidays,

#7 Sydney drivers. I think Melbourne has the stereotypical friendly Australian lifestyle and Sydney is more a capital/immigrant city. But Sydney has the beaches. And Melbourne the windsurfers. #hardtochoose

#8 Cost of living (With twice my French salary, I barely saved the same amount per year)

To make it fair, I'll mix it with the upsides:

# Hypercool working culture, awesome knowledgeable colleagues,

# The Sydney IT scene is alive, knowledgeable and dynamic,

# Nice parties at work (beer on tap in the office),

# Sun all-year-round, beach culture, nice dates (ey, that's important),

# Multicultural environment,

# Agile culture, a crazy lot to learn at the workplace...

# The border police saying "I like your Angry Nerds t-shirt. Welcome to Australia."

So here's my advice: Like everyone, have your target workplace pay for your move to Australia and host you for the first month. Apply for Permanent Residency as soon as you touch base (or before if you can). Once you have PR, get a good salary and/or change company. Be excellent at work. Go there if you're not addicted to mountaineering. And remember immigrating isn't easy: During the first months you feel lonely and disoriented (as in, people have values you're not used to, and the ones you do have mean nothing to them), it may take up to 2 years to get used to the new culture. After 2 years, you learn what you're going to take away from that culture and it enriches you. Best of luck adaml!
For some reason I can't quite put my finger on, it feels redundant to say this, but...

Did you read the article I linked? It talks about a prisoner who impregnated four of his guards, who then bragged to each other about having his kids. How one of the guards went to the guy for moral support when she found the prison environment too disturbing to handle. How the prisoners passed around tips on seducing the guards. These were not guards with any power over the inmates.

The power dynamic we're talking about is one where the prisoners hold power over the guards, not the other way around.

> Do you accept that there could be no valid consensual love between master and slave in the deep south in the height of the slave trade?

Of course not, no more than I accept that there can be no valid consensual love between a rich guy and his poor mistress. Which of the things you mention as making a "mockery" of master-slave relationships doesn't apply?

I don't really see what there is to be upset about in this particular case. This is how investigations are supposed to be done, by the book.

The FBI has copies of the servers TorMail ran on that they legitimately seized in an unrelated investigation (the servers were also hosting child pornography websites).

In the course of another investigation, the FBI found that orders for forged credit cards were being sent to a TorMail account.

The FBI obtained a search warrant for that specific account and then accessed it from their own copy.

This is not trolling the seized database for anything and everything that might be illegal. This is finding probable cause from another source and obtaining a specific search warrant. This is how it is supposed to be done. Why would you expect anything less from competent law enforcement?

The FBI is not the NSA. FBI cases have to hold up in the light of open court.

If you are upset about the fact that TorMail was not in fact secure, well, that's on the TorMail operators and on the users for trusting the entity that controlled TorMail while knowing absolutely nothing about them. Remember, TorMail has nothing to do with the Tor protocol, and is just the name someone gave their supposedly secure and anonymous e-mail service that they hosted on the deep web. For all anyone knew, the FBI could have been running TorMail all along.
I'm confused. You signed on to be paid $X/month, you worked a month and were paid $X. Later you renegotiated the contract to be paid $Y < X/month, you worked a month and were paid $Y. If you want to work elsewhere for $X or $2X or whatever, you can.

Downside risk: you signed on to be paid S shares/month or P% of profits. You worked a month and the share price tanked. You already took the loss.
Your assumption that a few well-informed consumers can make the difference between an unprofitable product and a profitable one is only true if sellers cannot significantly increase their profit margins by offering an inferior, but hard to distinguish, product at the same price.
Uk point of view here. I have no understanding what Americans want out of the prison system. This was brought home to me when I watched (ex UK minister) Micheal Portillo's programme on Death Row.

He is a believer in the death penalty, but went through the programme appalled by the torment suffered by prisoners. During the programme he researched, and found, a humane way of killing a prisoner. Then, he took it to a leading advocate of capital punishment in America, only to be told it wasn't painful enough.

Like I say, I have no understanding of this attitude, but I suspect the prison rape issue in the US won't change until the majority of people get past the idea that the prime thing to do to criminals is punishment.

Hmm, I've had variable experiences with Google Recruiting.

I had one experience which was very good, with a Google Engineering team - I didn't end up passing through - but they made the experience fun (good questions), and they were very gracious hosts.

I had another with a Google Sales team in Australia - where they made me do some four-page online assessment, answer more questions - then booked me in for a phone interview at 09:00 - then emailed me at 17:00 the day before to cancel.

Their reason - oh yeah, the years of experience we required has changed...
> You don't get to decide what offends or hurts other people.

While this is of course true, I do not believe that what offends other people should dictate our actions. There is someone out there to be offended for everything you could imagine. Implying that homosexuality is OK or that the universe is billions of years old will offend literally millions of people in the US alone. Implying that women should be allowed to go to school or marry who they want is offensive to plenty of people in the wlrld too.

It would be ridiculous to cater to those people's sensitivities! And I feel that it is silly to worry about things like the word "bro".

> I don't think a public company answerable to investors and other stake holders will ever work toward a SciFi futuristic concept.

I think Google has a proven track record of working on whatever they find interesting/beneficial to humanity, not necessarily minding shareholders - cf. self-driving cars, Project Loon, 10^100, whatever was that stuff they did in clean energy business (I recall them working on wind energy or sth?).

If anyone is going to pull off something like an real AI, I'd bet it will be Google - it's the only company I know that has the size, manpower, minds, money, know-how and a healthy attitude toward profits (bettering human kind > short term gains) all in one place.
Seize it all now and justify it[or not] later. Makes sense. Maybe we should all just go to jail now and wait to see if the government finds a 'lawful' reason later for us to be there.

Surely if you use TorMail you are also the type to encrypt your messages, right? Right ?
The reason why people oppose parallel construction is that a) the methods used to gain the original information are illegal, and b) the acts then used to convince a judge of the evidence are a lie.

We don't want a government and law enforcement that route around the Constitution.
I use Game Theory. No sane person would go on an extended sport climbing trip without a rope and a set of quickdraws. Thus, everybody you meet at, say, Ceuse, will have those things. Therefore, if a fella were to show up there with nothing but a pair of shoes and a harness, he should have no trouble finding partners with gear.

On extended trips, when I hit Europe (and thus needed to camp at climbing areas), I'd spin the $12/day rental car past a Decathlon and pick up a $20 sleeping bag, $40 tent, and $1.99 giant inflatable pool toy mattress to serve as the envy of the entire campground. Everybody else has stoves and cookware, so that part's sorted. And when it comes time to fly home, some lucky dirtbag gets a bunch of free gear.

We have some ideas on how to make "copy" work, and what "you" and "living" is. We also know that we can in principle achieve it by our own strength as a civilization. We can see the path from "here" to "there". Which seems much better defined than heaven.
Support for pluggable apps. e.g. we do have a "users" app which provides user registration, authentication and social integration.

Is this something like Rack (in Ruby on Rails)?

Also your templating system looks very similar to Handlebar/Mustache - is that what the general principles are going to be ?
Interesting, I thought that in Australia they have an healthy working hours approach.

# Sun all-year-round, beach culture, nice dates. This is really really important. Unfortunately the European countries that can offer Sun almost-all-year-round and beach culture have a big economic crisis.

I was ready to be super upset when I started reading, especially about indicting someone on an unrelated case from the data - but then I read that they got a warrant and did everything the right way and I was completely surprised that we have competent law enforcement that does things the right way.

That shouldn't have been a surprise, that should have been expected.

Guards don't necessarily have the power you imagine. They are vastly outnumbered by the prisoners for one, and it's not uncommon for a guard to be intimidated into running drugs or other contraband for prison gangs. In many prisons housing violent offenders, its probably more accurate to say that the prisoners and the guards work in a tense sort of truce most of the time.
> What do they see as the benefit of the singularity?

Not necessarily; that's an actual research field.

I am yet to ever see this. I also do not ever remember being able to choose between the same phone with and without bloatware so I am not sure how the market has ever been able to decide.
In that case your fallback isn't going to help - unless you're performing a checksum on the response you get from code.jquery.org.

I know it's probably not considered great practice anymore but I generally just self host js libs. One less thing to go wrong and I often develop without an internet connection. Saves on having to dropback to a fallack every time.

Probably because the stories that make sites like HN are all the 'outrage stories' where things have gone off the rails.
Yeah. It takes ~$10k to dirtbag around the world for a year if you mostly stick to the developing world. The equation then is how long need a fella work an on-site contract for a Silicon Valley or SoCal rate, while borrowing a couch or renting the cheapest room available nearby, in order to save that much?

Keep in mind, that your taxable income for the year will likely be less than $20k, so most of your paycheck while you're living cheaply will go straight towards travel expenses for the next lap.

Personally, I liked 3 month contracts. I usually ended up saving a lot more than I could possibly spend on the road.
Nope. They got a warrant. Everything's by-the-book
The first two, I could accept from a certain IP lawyer viewpoint. The first contained an amusing non-admission admission, but they took down the game, and I'll let it slide, from my perspective. The second one was a stretch, but they provided existing examples, and I can see their point even if I don't agree with it.

That last one though was ludicrous: "We’re not trying to stop Stoic from using the word Saga but we had to oppose their application to preserve our own ability to protect our own games."

In order to save the village, we had to destroy it.

I don't play that many games on my phone or tablets, so I don't have a dog in this fight directly, but now I guess I'll never make my app SagaNoteAngryFruit.

Email is one of the really worst security risk regarding exposure to false accusations. Its even worse if you consider prosecutors who is more interested in statistics and carer than justice and truth.

Almost everyone has hundred thousands of emails laying around. All in your name, all forever stored, all with a legal signature on them binding you, and each with a short text message with no context. It is very often used as evidence, attached with a conjecture provided by the prosecutor. The defended is then forced to try defend themselves both regarding the conjecture, but also having to remember and explain the original context.

It has been used in a profile case to "prove" conspiracy, and has also been used by prosecutors to move public opinion by providing snippets (official sanctioned leaking) to media.

This is why I view running a email server without full disk encryption to be negligence, and that everyone should have their own mail server. Until the legal system have caught up with technology, its not much more one can do.

Singularity is not BS, and I'm pretty sure they want to make it happen. It would be a shame if Google wanted all this AI talent to improve ad revenue or just for self-driving cars. I for one hope they are not that short-sighted. I think, hope, that with "all these robotics and AI companies", they literally want to build the future of mankind.

From King.com [1]:

"The debate here revolves around Pac-Avoid [...] The game strongly resembles another game called ScamperGhost. The details of the situation are complex, but the bottom line is that we should never have published Pac-Avoid. We have taken the game down from our site, and we apologise for having published it in the first place.

Let me be clear: This unfortunate situation is an exception to the rule. King does not clone games, and we do not want anyone cloning our games.

Before we launch any game, we do a thorough search of other games in the marketplace and review relevant trademark filings to ensure that we are not infringing anyone else’s IP. We have launched hundreds of games. Occasionally, we get things wrong. When we do, we take appropriate action."

I'm pretty sure this is an admission that they cloned the game. We know it, they know it, they haven't outright said "we cloned the game", but this is as good as. Unless I'm misreading it, in which case they should correct that statement.

Given that, it would be interesting to know what legal avenues are open to the original developer now. If another party was willing to provide financial support for a lawsuit, surely it's a slam-dunk?

I think the whole issue of whether or not candy crush can be considered a clone is vastly different; obviously, the core mechanism is pretty much (or exactly) the same as in other games, but that mechanism is very straightforward. And I'm not sure the visuals are so blatantly a rip-off. Moreover, I'm unaware of any evidence from a third-party that has revealed King commissioned them to create a clone.

Thanks, I just checked the app, but that is a compression artefact. In the raw video it is clear, but not in that version.

People are upset because of this new standard of "grab everything, put it in a 'secure' location and mine it in the future for past crimes."

The main concern is that something you did today may become a crime tomorrow, so now entire populations are apparently in the situation of Schrodinger's cat: we are both criminals and not criminals, and only the indistinct future will determine where we end up.

If you want a society where an individual is free to pursue their interests as long as they don't hurt anyone, it makes a lot of sense to have a transparent set of rules that are applied equitably to every citizen, regardless of their demographics or background.

If you want a society where the individual is completely at the whims of mysterious and unknown forces that can destroy their life utterly for no apparent reason at all, well then carve out special exceptions for some while reserving harsh punishments for others. Introduce secret courts, evidence and trials... Institute a "permanent record" of someone's behavior that can be used to manipulate them as desired. Break the well-thought out control systems that help avoid abuses all to make "LEO easier."

I'm assuming every experience you've ever had with law enforcement is positive?

The issue I have with this is that there's no such thing as "by the book" Federal investigations anymore. Snowden showed us that US intelligence agencies are using illicit, warrantless means of obtaining information and then providing that information to law enforcement agencies. Those agencies then go to judges and request warrants, and they can prove that the warrant is justified because they already have the damning evidence that they're legally supposed to require the warrant to get. Which renders them meaningless on a federal level.
AI and robotics... I for one am excited.
I didn't assume it, that's why I asked. Anyway, what exactly was the error in my argument above? All I said was that the common reasoning "regulation in model market is wrong, therefore regulation in real market is wrong" is flawed. Perhaps there are other reasons why regulated markets are always under any circumstances wrong. If so, I'll be happy to discuss them, although I'm convinced they're flawed too (lot of anecdotal evidence).

Jef Raskin was a computer/ui designer who worked on the Canon Cat before becoming the leader on the Macintosh program at Apple. Steve Jobs took over the program and Jef was, by some accounts, forced out of the project. He expressed strongly opinionated ideas about what computer interfaces should be in a way that many see as rants about what might have been.

His book, The Humane Inerface (http://www.amazon.com/The-Humane-Interface-Directions-Intera...) does have some interesting thoughts on how novice and expert users have completely different ways of interacting with machines.
