In Scandinavia, most immigrants from Netherlands and Germany I met are the kind of people which spend all free time in a forest or in a canoe on a lake. If nature is important for you, select area carefully in some countries.

Also, if you are from south Russia, be aware of the winter dark in Norway.

Note that Scandinavians are shy, it is a culture historically from small villages, it takes years to get local friends. Finland has most Russian expatriates, afaik.

CocoaPods has been generating aggregated lists of licenses of libraries that you use in your app since a very long time, I don’t know of any other system that people use to pull-in dependencies that does this.

We also only accept libraries that specify a license. This has lead to many more licensing issues being clear than before people used CocoaPods.

We are, however, definitely not going to build in functionality that would give you the green or red light, because it’s impossible to do this right in an automated fashion. In the end, any licensing issue is your responsibility regardless, of how you pull the code in.

> In my experience, those who claim animals don't have emotions are usually justifying some kind of behaviour

I agree. Similar things were said historically to justify slavery.

This poses an interesting ethical question.

If a subject is not known to have emotions or not. Should the party that would be inflicting emotional pain on the subject have the burden of proof (that the subject does not in fact have emotions)? Or the party that would not inflict it?
> the restaurants are there for eating and not for socializing

I went there to eat, how is this a problem? I don't like people, having to talk to them when I'm trying to have dinner would be annoying.
Actually the above commenter is kind of right.

Why do you think we wash our hands after toilet usage?

It's not because touching your own genitals, urine or even faecal matter will make YOU ill. You are most probably clean to yourself. We promote the habit because if we all do it, we are much less likely to make each other ill.

Same goes for infectious diseases. You wash your hands because even though you might have a healthy immune system (as do I), some of my colleagues might not. Or my grandma. Or in fact some random person I shake hands with.

The concept of herd immunity doesn't just apply to vaccinations. We do keep clean for others.

100% of European couples probably also want to be around the child's grandparents, ensure the child learns their own language, and so on. My wife would find it tough to leave Italy for this reason, for instance. Also, as a parent, I think you want to feel somewhere that feels like 'home' - or maybe that's just me. Without kids, I would feel pretty comfortable in a lot of places, but now that we have them, I think I would be less comfortable going somewhere completely new.

The educational system isn't that bad in the US if you're in the right place. It varies a lot from state to state and between towns or even areas in a town.
I faced this question at the age of 29 (late 90's) when I got an interesting offer to work in Florida (I live in Austria).

In the end, I decided against it. At the (2-day) job interview, people who worked there pointed out that the biggest benefit over Europe was the perceived freedom, the feeling that noone would bother them about their private business (this is probably no longer the case / general feeling today). I found the poverty in urban areas most shocking (loitering people, obvious racial inequality).

In the end it boils down to whether having your "dream job" (for me it was game programming) is worth both getting ripped out of your surroundings and coping with lower standards in many areas in the US over Europe (well, depends on whether you live in a poor EU country), as well as other issues like the harsher environment (floods, earthquakes). 50-60 hours was a given in the 90's, perhaps it is no longer the case now that Google/FB set the bar higher for job quality. For me it was better to stay, although nowdays I sometimes ponder moving to Switzerland, Norway or perhaps Australia (for different reasons, none involving career perspectives).
That was the cunning plan :-)
There's absolutely nothing spammy about http://www.metafilter.com/67307/Gampoumlmbampoumlc, and if it has to be excluded from the internet because it contains two links to the website of a product along with discussion of that product between two dozen people - your search is broken, not the page.

I'm not sure when it became alright to exclude "inane babble" from the internet, but I'm not comfortable with an algorithmic measure of lack of interestingness or quality being judged as an attack. I also think that it's moving the goalposts from detecting destructive or deceptive content to defining what all content on the internet should look like.
"If I visit a US city for pleasure, but work on my business at the same time, am I violating immigration law?" -> technically yes. Practically no.

The solution is to not "work" on your business, but "do business". If you're in the US and have meetings with clients, that's not considered "work" by immigration law.

Just don't tell the immigration office you're going to "work". In practice your situation is totally fine.
Well, I love nature, but I am young and I like life in a big city too :)

Currently I live in Saint-Petersburg (most european city in Russia) - it is rather cold here in winters, so low temperatures is not a problem.

Also, I'm shy too.
In the last year we did see Linux on HD controllers and SD cards, so I do not think that they need to be backdoored by default, but a exploitable keyboard controller seems to be possible.

I'm pretty sure it's not a violation of immigration law to visit the US briefly to do some meetings and/or free promotional events. People do this all the time. It's called a "business trip". Just be honest and check business instead of tourism on the immigration form, and be ready to answer a few questions about your job and company.

If there's one place you'll find a 40 hour work week, it's enterprise Java. Most of the glorified 80 hour work weeks occur in the startup realm. I'm generalizing significantly here, but enterprise is stereotypically a "clock in, check out" type of job at larger companies, and securing something that pays well without sucking up your whole life is very easily doable.

Are those 5 weeks of holiday paid? If so, that is not a common benefit in America.

Without citizenship, your healthcare coverage is likely to be either costly or limited.

Scholarships and grants exist, but a free ride through college is also rare.

If you were already a US citizen, this move would be possible (but even for the majority of Americans, what you ask for is off the table), but since you're not, I say move to Canada.

Specifically, Toronto. As metropolitan as any American city (with a sufficiently large job market), numerous strong immigrant communities, better healthcare, great food. Nice and clean, fairly safe - I'd have no qualms bringing up a kid there. The surrounding suburbs are very mellow.
That's not true, it's totally legal to visit the US on a tourist visa and go to conferences promoting your product, for example. Or having sales meetings. That's not considered "work".
Yes, this is the first instinct. But moving all of the others down/up is in the majority of cases not what you want. Imagine you have 100 to spread out over 4 categories. Let's say you start with setting them all to 25. You set the first to 33, then you want to set the second to a desired values except oops, the first one is now no longer 33. Basically in this scenario you have to way to set them all to a precise value without trial and error until you're close enough to what you want.

That's a very useful tip that I will bear in mind. Are there any other common sense rules that we should remember when owning / transferring domains? I only own one so it's not something I deal with a lot.
Had the same happen to me, but since I'm a cynical sob, I check all my data on transfers, so I noticed and changed it immediately.

Other info that gets damaged during NameCheap transfers may include company name, phone and fax.

I reported it to them. More than a year ago. We've spoken about this. Look how much of a fuck they've given.
I can second this, I left the US because my kids started going to first grade and I finally realized that all the stuff you read about is all true. It was horrid.

And this was considered a top school in one of the most expensive neighbourhoods around.
The thing is, in the context of content, if a bad actor acts sufficiently like a good actor it is effectively a good actor. You just have do a sufficiently good job of determining good or bad and not some proxy "like good" or "like bad".
The "Abrahamic position" comment was interesting, although I'm not certain I understand what you meant.

I do know that while the nomadic culture of Abraham's time used animals for sacrifice and the necessities of life, the Torah explicitly states that animals have souls[1]. The Bible goes on to say animals have an affinity to God[2] and will go to heaven[3].

Hi! In the future, would you please try making your point by showing some compassion and empathy? It tends to make HN a nicer place.

Prefixing "I'm sorry, but" to an otherwise cold-hearted statement doesn't make it better.
There's a huge difference between earth orbits and deep space. The reality is that the desirable earth orbits are actually fairly crowded, and allowing completely unregulated access could definitely endanger missions. The differential speeds between orbits are so great that a flake of paint can severely damage a satellite. If we want to have useful satellite missions in the years to come we need to regulate access to space.
Why even use Dokku? There's an off-the-shelf Gitlab image on DigitalOcean that works just great.

I think your idea of what a "healthy start-up scene" is, is probably lacking quite some perspective. I don't want to write a political essay here, but generally speaking, Belgian law & regulations, infrastructure, politics, language barriers and the size of the country and distribution market are an extremely hostile environment for entrepreneurship, compared to say London or San Francisco.

This doesn't mean some people aren't trying anyway :)

Thanks for the comment. Perhaps a tad negative, but useful when pondering a move based on nothing more than 'vision that was planted in my head'.

Fair enough. But then again too bad Gruber gets all the credit (and consequently the privilege of nomenclature), while the late prodigy Aaron Swartz at least was his underacknowledged co-inventor.¹ I don’t think Swartz would have agreed on such a lock-in.

California is a double-edged sword. I've lived here for over 15 years and it's definitely the place I intend on staying for quite a while.

If you plan on being near either Bay Area or the greater Los Angeles area, you have to be ready for the housing prices. A good, safe area with good schools will cost you. A short commute on top of that will cost you double.

That said, if you do your research, you can find very solid public schools (school districts) and University is doable, unless you go private.

As far as neighbors, it's a mixed bag - there are plenty of great people and there also many fake, greedy, etc. Just like any big city. Culturally, Americans seem to be more predisposed to welcoming people than not.

Back to the finances, with the costs of housing, it's not likely that you will be able to be the sole breadwinner. I've been trying to solve this puzzle for a while, but on a single income things just don't pencil...

Now the upside - California lifestyle is something else. You have all 4 seasons at your disposal with only a drive or a short flight year round. This opens up a lot of possibilities for enjoying nature/sports. If you are more into just quiet enjoyment, the state offers magnificent areas like Big Sur, that are also surrounded by awesome hotels, camping grounds and wine country. California wine is great and very inexpensive.

You also have the beach (really cold water though) and great weather most days out of the year.

Downside of Los Angeles is traffic and lack of public transit. In SF, you trade public transit for huge cost of living increase.

Never having lived in Belgium, I can't compare. My only experience has been a very short (6 months) stint in the UK and Moscow. I would not come back to either voluntarily after California.

If you are not afraid of a little rain, I would strongly recommend you consider Seattle - reasonable weather (I like rain) and not too much cold, great nature and friendly people (by my standards of visiting and working with a few great folks), no state income tax (CA works out to an extra 10% for me), a lot lower cost of living with similar level of education offered by the local school system.
Why should the 'emotions' animals can or can not experience have to be like 'human emotions' though? Maybe the dog can be 'sad' in a way that isn't exactly like sadness as experienced by humans, but it's still an emotion, right?
Intel has spent the better part of 30 years trying to convince you their latest processor is the same as a 8086.

Yes, well, this is part of research :-) I agree that staying for a while would be ideal, but it's very nearly impossible at this point.

What about sunshine? But seriously ... we moved to TO after SF and NYC - not that happy with the move. There is a startup scene but not as many choices as the cities we came from. The salaries are also quite a bit lower, stuff is expensive and there are generally more regulations to do with it seems.
For those that wonder why it's impossible...

Runway numeric designators are the compass heading of the runway, divided by 10.

So, Runway 27 would be a runway oriented at 270 degrees. The other end of that runway would be runway 9 (It's 180 degrees the opposite direction, 18 lower).

Therefore, a runway 60 would indicate 600 degrees, on a 360 degree arc ... :)

Correct.

In the article's photo of Logan, you can see both on 22L. The chevrons mark an area not usable for either takeoff or landing on 22L. Then, the section marked with a series of 5 long arrows is usable for taking off from 22L, leading to the displaced threshold, beyond which the runway surface is usable for landing (and takeoff, of course).

The displaced thresholds on 22L and 22R at Logan are to ensure adequate clearance over boats in the channel north of the field.

Why you should aim high when defending your network
Generally not the the US. Runways 1-9 are overwhelmingly labelled with a single digit in the US, and with a leading zero in most of the world.
Some interesting design ideas, but seems a bit aimless... stuck in the weird no-man's-land Mac software is currently in: Apple's shown us the future with iOS 7, but Mac OS is still all shadows-and-gradients. Do you attempt something more minimalist and (ugh) 'flat', and be in discord with the chrome of the OS? Or do you match the look of the OS and be in discord with Dribbble's latest trends?
These rankings are a bit dubious, but in this one, for instance, the US does not do great, but does do better than Belgium, where the poster wants to move away from:

I want my own kids to have a good education, and would feel comfortable moving back to the US from that point of view. My biggest doubt from that point of view is that I want them to be bilingual in Italian and English, and there is no Italian language education in the US, so it'd be up to my wife and I.
Great visualisation and nice to see it properly accounts for all considations.

I live in London. Unfortunately, as the calculator shows, change in house prices is overwhelmingly the most important consideration in buying if you're thinking of staying for much more than 2-3 years. Admittedly growth is completely unpredictable, (and also highly inequitable), but to a large extent a decision to buy is based on expected future house prices.

For instance, I have a friend who bought three years ago - a £250k flat which would cost around £1,300 to rent. According to Rightmove and Zoopla (and the price a similar flat next door sold for recently), the monthly gain in value has been around £3,000 (!!). I also note this gain is tax free, so equates to earning more like £5,000 a month pre tax.

Unfortunately these gains are only available to those who earn enough and save enough for a deposit, or more commonly, those who receive parental assistance in purchasing property.
It's not really that far off from Belgium (20 + 10), but I think your US numbers do assume a competitive job market like programming.

His wife might not be so lucky.
Really neat that you've updated this. One issue: The graphs of grey bars on white background have very little contrast even in different browsers on a nice monitor. The old version of the calculator has much more color contrast between the graphs and background and doesn't have this issue.

Git does not require a singular centralized repository and embraces decentralization. I like how hosting your own repository is embraced by the overall design of git. "Host your own Github" should most definitely be the norm vs having a github/sourceforge/google code that everyone relies on being up. I wish that everyone running their own repositories while pulling directly from others was the defacto standard, that way no one can use the excuse "$repository / $service is down I'll submit it later".
Novelty and the feeling of doing something different are very good reasons to move.

Salaries will be higher in the US but without a doubt you will lose in term of vacations and free time. Everything you wife mention, you can have in Europe. Food wise, I think you're better off in Europe if you like fresh inexpensive food.

The nature on the west coast is incredible. The national parks there are among the most impressive places I've seen. However, with 2 weeks vacations, you may not have much time to visit them. You can't really go to the grand canyon for a weekend for instance. You'll have more time to go there on vacation while you work in Europe!
I second this; while Dokku sounds like a great way to ship your own fleet of applications (Heroku style), I'm not sure I see any benefit in using it to deploy GitLab. There are already images working on the main cloud providers and it seems to me a bit overkill for something you'd update once every few months at best.
It's weird that 40-45% of Congress is attorneys.
As usual, phys.org is not exactly the best source for this. (I can't think of any occasion when phys.org has been the best source for anything.)

A more informative informal summary of the research can be found at the GrrlScientist blog http://www.theguardian.com/science/grrlscientist/2014/may/21....

For those who don't mind the much drier writing style, the full text of the original scholarly article is at http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/281/1786/2014... (it's quite short) and the "Data supplement" link at the right will get you the three videos of animals running on the wheel.

HN submitters: When you see something cool on phys.org, before submitting it ask yourself "Can I find a better source than this for the same story?". Take two minutes -- google the title of the paper, the author's names, etc. I claim that at least 75% of the time you'll easily find something that's either substantially better or textually more or less identical but closer to the original source. Then submit that instead.
"... in my book if a user interface component is non-functional it should be grayed out or not there at all. "

Actually I find this quite interesting. While of course I agree with you in terms of "what is good UX," things get interesting when you consider GX---Group Experience, or the experience of many users.

I realize it's not fun to have one's own (probably arbitrary) reduction of privileges philosophizer about, but it's still interesting to me. So much of our UX thought is built around "help the user at just about any cost." It's interesting to think about different situations.
Just sharing my bookmarks that were previously discussed on HN.
Hope you can find some useful info in them.

It can write over itself, but does so in pages which are typically larger than the amount of data you want to write. So you have to find a page to write, read it, modify the data in memory, erase the page, then write to it. I think the page size actually varies but wikipedia[1] says 256KB.

You also want to spread out your writes anyway, because each NAND cell has a limited number of program/erase cycles before it stops accepting writes.

This is why TRIM support was such a big deal a few years ago, since it let the OS communicate when a filesystem block was no longer in use, simplifying the above to erase-then-write or in some cases, just write.
