If you really want to go into the gritty details - in 2005, Gervase Markham, representing himself as speaking on behalf of Mozilla in this matter, indicated that what Debian was doing was okay:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/06/msg01182.html

In 2006, Mike Connor contacted Debian and stopped just short of saying outright that Gervase should never have done that:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354622#59

(Also see the next few messages from Eric and Mike where they worked out some of the details)

So the short version is that there was a lot of confusion from Mozilla about what Debian should be doing here, and at each step Debian adjusted the contents of the package in accordance with the information given.

As far as the artwork license is concerned, that's actually a distraction; the conclusion of the discussion with Mike Connor was that Debian could only use the firefox trademark if the Mozilla Foundation was pre-approving all releases, and it would be quite tricky to make this work with Debian's release processes. Using the iceweasel branding is much less work for everybody and doesn't seem to cause any problems for users.

Well, with Amazon there could be lost sales due to refusing to stock/sell.
People have been expecting Berlin to have huge growth economically, in population, real estate value, etc since the fall of the wall. This has not happened yet (at least, not at the rate that was expected). I doubt it will happen with startups.

Those european rent prices seem like a complete fantasy in some cases. Sure you get all kinds of outliers in every city but rents in Paris, Dublin and Berlin are certainly not the same. Paris is twice as expensive as Berlin, and Dublin is somewhere in the middle.

At least the UK converted to the world standard. Of course these things take time. Of course older people (who have been used to the imperial standard for decades) will have a harder time converting. That's normal.
But the UK did it/tries. The US doesn't even bother. Their attempt back in the 70s/80s was half-hearted at best. And then they just gave up.
Why would being in the center of the city be important? I would think average anywhere in the city would be more reasonable.

I would also like to see the costs of a 2 bedroom apartment. I'd personally rather have an office in my apartment than a co-op space.

What would the price of a small house be within 10 miles of the city? (question that could be added)

How is the NomadCost calculated? These numbers don't add up: http://nomadlist.io/?hn
I believe this model necessitates a substantial up-front investment which indie developers may not be comfortable with. Also, unlike AdWords ads which are shown side-by-side with 'free/organic' search results (which may still be 'bought' from an SEO company), those auctions would totally supplant the current discovery model. That's at least the impression I'm getting from the article.
I spent four months in Phnom Penh over the last year or so and overall I'd agree it's not a bad place at all. Downsides are stinky trash everywhere, pedestrian-unfriendly streets, and a generally dodgy and unsafe vibe later at night. I think if I go back to Cambodia for another extended stay I'll try Siem Riep.

Personally I prefer Vietnam but Cambodia is definitely a good option too.

You also assume that amazon is free to price ebooks however they want provided that they pay the publisher the right amount. They are not. This is one of the reasons that this conflict has developed. Amazon has traditionally been happy to sell many physical books at a loss. They are not permitted to do this with ebooks.

"Previously the Department for Transport (DfT) had discouraged the systems which reduce fuel use, resulting in less tax being paid to the Treasury."

Could theoretically be nice, if it would actually work.
It’s about removing friction. I did manual tracking in the past sometimes, but it was a hassle, I kept forgetting (or I was just too lazy) and for me that was really not good. The biggest psychological hurdle for me to start losing weight was my fear of weighing myself. That’s what I had to overcome. I don’t ever want to be in a situation where I’m afraid of weighing myself, and if I weigh myself every day (or even somewhat less frequently but still with regularity) and keep track of my weight that fear is just not an issue. The changes day to day (or even week to week) are just too harmless to instil fear in me – but if I go a month without weighing I get scared and let it slide. That’s how it was in the past, anyway.

Another factor for me personally was that I really love all these tech toys. That was the catalyst to me starting to weigh myself. I really wanted to try this cool scale and play around with it. That definitely helped overcome my fear. Your mileage may vary if you aren’t really that much into tech toys.

When did statements like this sprout a So on the front? It's everywhere now!
US college students don't "passively accept the egregiously high prices." Most are shocked about the prices, and there is no acclimatization to the idea that books "should be very expensive."

See http://www.lib.umich.edu/files/SPOTextbookBackground.pdf for some background information.

One reason for the high price is that the text book publishers have a short revision cycle. If the book chapters and page numbers change a bit every couple of years, and especially if the problem sets change, then there's little resale value.

Another is the bundling of workbook material (just like I pointed out for Ireland), even though most instructors don't use that material. This also makes it harder to resell the book.

As it says: "What makes students’ textbook purchases even less responsive to price increases than any other commodities is that many faculty members choose and assign their textbooks with little regard to the cost of the textbooks"

As I pointed out, the increase in freedom of choice by Irish instructors caused similar reductions in resale value of primary and secondary school text books in that country.
Once upon a time I was an English teacher in Berlin. The student I had who had the best intuitive feel for English and the best pronunciation was a massive boy band fan and had learned the bulk of her English though translating and signing along to N'Sync and the like.
Great concept. One feature request: Better calculations for cities with Bi-modal price distributions.

Certain cities have a extremely bi-modal distributions of pricing. I.e. they can support both the "broke artist" lifestyle, and the "upper middle class" lifestyle. Two separate cost distributions. If you try to take the mean or median of these cities, you'll end up either arbitrarily landing on one of the distributions, or a nonsense number in the middle.

A good example is Manhattan. For example, pizza can actually be cheaper in Manhattan than Sofia. In Manhattan, the broke artist lifestyle of living with multiple roommates who barely know each other, all sharing a rent controlled apartment for a few hundred dollars a month is more socially acceptable and much more common. Just taking prices from the realtor-controlled apartment websites is a poor reflection of reality. Almost no one except the richer consultants bothers with a full-time coworking desk in either city. In this case, Manhattan can actually cost less than Sofia.

So, I think the "broke artist" price distributions would better reflect what a remote working nomad would be looking for, instead of the "upper middle class" prices.

DDoS-ers Launch Attacks From Amazon EC2
Most digital nomads I met in years prefer to stay close to where things are happening. Namely, where they have convenient access to food, coffee shops, gyms, coworking spaces, public transport, meeting other like minded people etc. and lastly to not lose tons of valuable time due to long commute to places of interest. I think that's what the project is aiming at. Cost of living for those "edge cases" vary even more than what's discussed in this thread and it'd be damn hard to find common ground. But to answer your question: costs for a setup like you suggest/prefer may literally be half of what city center life would be.
With that kind of reasoning I could post in Russian and if you complain that you don't understand I would retort that you just need to translate my comments...

Cortana coming to China, India with windows phone update next week
I didn't know what my weight was in pound before I saw this either. It was very little effort to find out.
Vang Vieng in Laos was the cheapest place I lived. Less than A$10 a day for hotel with my own room, internet, food and drinks. And it was a really beautiful place. All the restaurants had wifi, so you could sit and work there all day, overlooking amazing limestone cliffs.
You forgot measuring weight in stone. I always mess up that conversion.
I recently read Tingworld for the first time and honestly I found it pretty painfully outdated. I mean obviously the imagination involved was significant at the time but I don't feel like it has aged well.
One explanation of the massive overkill that the US had for a lot of the Cold War came down, essentially, to badly stated requirements.

Apparently, the US military were tasked with destroying 50% of the socialist world's industrial capacity - which you could do by destroying 50% of the factories completely or 100% of the factories by at least 50%. However, if you attack say a shoe factory (the example given) with an H-bomb aiming to achieve at least 50% destruction you do actually get 100% destruction. So all factories were targeted.

NB I used the phrase "socialist world" as, at least until well into the 60s, the SIOP aimed to destroy everyone even vaguely left of center whether they were actually allies of the Soviets or not (e.g. China, Albania, Yugoslavia etc.).

Pretty sure I read this in "The Bomb - A Life" by Gerard DeGroot, but I could well be wrong!
This is really great, they should launch Cortana in alpha in all countries (atleast English speaking).
I disagree with the lottery notion.
There are two important differences:

In a lottery you know exactly what your odds of winning are and what the (best) possible outcomes are.
In the App Store on the other hand, the odds are more or less unknown (which is why this post is interesting in the first place, I guess).

They are also dependent on a variety of factors, including your marketing success, quality of the game, etc.
As an independent app developer it's difficult if not impossible to get a grip on those numbers.
On the other hand, if you are Kim Kardashian there are probably some calculations you can do that give you an idea about how well your game is going to do
(FYI: There is a Kim Kardashian game. Also a person named Kim Kardashian)

The second difference to a lottery is, that in the App Store you do not have an upper bound for your success.
It could be anything form zero (most likely) to flappy-bird-crazy and beyond.

So do these differences matter after all?

Yes, because they dictate what kind of game you have to make, or in other words what kind of risks you are able to take:
While major publishers have to stick to "mee-too" variations of game concepts that are known to work, you as a hobbyist can try out radical ideas. Things that are "never going to work".
You face a limited amount of loss (the time it takes to make the game) but face a (virtually) unbound gain.
This also means that the 1-week variety is much more promising, just not the "mee-too" ones.
Eh, it is pretty common to Visa runs inside and outside of Thailand, the same day. Pain in the ass, but not a problem. Maybe 5 or 6th time they might get a bit uptight about it. But you could just spend some extra time in Malaysia or Laos or Vietnam.
It is quite bold and certainly makes an impression. If the post office looked like this, I think I would be confused for a few seconds as I wondered how I accidentally stepped into a personality-infused government building.

That said, I find this font incredibly hard to read; it almost feels like it's not English, and my brain has to work extra-hard to form words from the pixels on the screen.
Yep, lots of teams working on BCIs.

BCIs are getting more and more attention. Imagine being able to hook up a processor, external storage, or even directly connecting to the internet using a BCI. Even connecting two brain is possible (and has been done). Some people say that one day we'll all be one connected organism, when we die just throw the brains in a big tank and let them live forever, like Futurama.

How to got root access on FireEye OS
To those in this thread saying you need an appropriate working visa to work in these countries:

Have you ever worked for a company in Country A and been sent on a business trip to Country B? Most likely your company didn't need a Country B working visa for you, just for a business trip.

I am not a lawyer, but I don't see how the digital nomad lifestyle is any different. If you're just spending short amounts of time in these countries, legally how is this any different from going on a business trip since your company and salary will be paid in the origin country.

I'm sure there's a cut off point, like once you go over a certain amount of time it becomes harder to justify your trip as a short term business trip... but what's that line?
Why would it be downvoted?

I think this is akin to posting a link to a page in a language that is not English. Surely there would be many comments reflecting the users' annoyance of having to use Google translate to read the page; no matter 'who' is sleeping or awake.

That being said, a single upvoted comment on the matter should be enough to make the OP aware.
FWIW, I just bought a book (sequel to "a fire upon the deep" by vernon vinge) on kindle yesterday and it came with a "this book has no DRM at the request of the publisher" disclaimer.

So maybe we should complain about publishers rather than amazon at this point?

It's true about Florida. Drive up the east coast, once you drive though Palm Beach county (heading north) and into Martin county, you'd swear you were in Georgia. It's a sudden change. Even environmental. Since zone 10 (topical) ends somewhere near on the border of Palm Beach and in Martin counties.

How do people deal with moving costs? I have a lot of random stuff that I "need" or would like to have but at the same time I'd be very interested in traveling and working remotely for a year or two.

It would be nice if you also had a "dog friendly/accessible" metric, that's part of the reason why living in a city center isn't reasonable for me personally, I need green spaces rather than tall buildings.
Ask HN: Turned down for job at a few companies but unable to find reason

I have no idea what you are talking about. I've been living on the road for the past 18 months living in Sydney, Singapore, Nairobi, New York, Istanbul, Phuket and a few months in Chiang Mai.

I can't think of a much better location for "Digital Nomad" (as much as I despise the term) than Chiang Mai, I would move back there in a heartbeat. Cheap amazing food, cheap and amazing accommodation, insanely friendly people, very strong and well connected expat / entrepreneur community.

Genuinely I am confused why in your experience Chiang Mai is a horrible choice. I think it is currently at the top of that list for a pretty good reason.
Yes.

When advocating using a new tech (or "new", as the case may be), one should find an example where the new tech is truly the best solution. (And if there is no such example, then I wonder why you are advocating it)

If they had used a half-decent sorting algorithm (say... sort(), which on the array they give runs an absurdly short length of time) they wouldn't need to use web workers for this.

There are all sorts of things where web workers are useful and better than alternatives. This is not one of them.
FWIW, I've gotten dozens of used books from amazon UK in the 2£ range, which is higher but still in the destroyable-without-drama range.

That's how I see it. People who chose this lifestyle are more often than not prone to bend the rules a bit here and there (which entrepreneur/hacker doesn't?), cut some corners and tend to have some MacGyver tricks at their disposal.
Why don't you post your resume and then we can tell you something more specific.
It really depends, and you should really check. I went to Israel for a week for business meetings, and needed a work visa. Coming from the US, I didn't need to file paperwork ahead of time, but coming from some other non-US branches I may have needed a letter of invitation from the local branch to do a business meeting and then leave.

Yes you can come in on a tourist visa and work, and I'm sure some people do that, but if you're looking to be on the full up and up, even short stays may need work visas.
This is a fun and quite intriguing resource, but I'm skeptical of the NomadCost function. No way is is Berlin only 12% cheaper than London for a nomad. It's probably 50% or more.
UX of a teamwork
I don't need it now, but I like it when my equipment lasts as long as possible. I've seen other manufacturers creating laptops with 32 GB RAM, so I know that it can be done.

If I'm going to buy a state of the art computer, I want it to have state of the art specs, know what I'm saying? I think it's inevitable that 32 GB RAM on a MacBook will be a thing, so that's what I'm waiting for.
Good try, buddy.
Well, that's all well and good until everyone prices their e-books at $9.99 or lower, at which point we're back to square one.

No. At least not according to OP. They suggest that books compete against other forms of information and entertainment and that below $9.99 a larger share of that market would be occupied by ebooks.
Per million hours travelled is a terrible normalization method for comparing travel risks. The problem is that risk is usually not uniform throughout a trip.

A good example of this is air travel. Most of the risk in air travel is concentrated at the end points. The high risk parts of flight are getting on or off the ground, and flying through the high traffic area around the airport. When flying at cruising altitude between the endpoints, the risk is lowest.

Overall, a very long flight is more risky than a short flight, but if you went by risk per million hours travelled the long flight might actually appear to be less risky.
It wouldn't be opened by the captain alone. I don't know about the US procedures, but in the Soviet army/navy the sealed orders would most likely be opened by a trio of the captain, deputy and the 'political officer'; and captain deciding to do otherwise would be a valid reason to remove him from command on the spot, if the other two disagree.
