That's the problem you can't be sure once there is no more "western jobs" that they will remain enough money in the country. You are just assuming without proof. The exact thing neocon have been doing for years.
Yes. But that's happening on a much smaller scale (HTTP interception is ubiquitous) and as certificate pinning is happening in browsers and applications, this is going down even more.
Capitalism still works fine, because it's not a designed system, it's not a central plan.

A damning indictment from Stockman's The Great Deformation (referenced in the article):

The paper trail uncovered by congressional investigators shows that the
$400 billion (notational value) of busted CDS insurance issued by the AIG
holding company was held by a very small number of the world’s largest fi-
nancial institutions, and virtually none of it was held by the banks of Main
Street America which were allegedly being shielded from AIG’s imminent
collapse. Moreover, the worst-case loss faced by the dozen or so giant in-
stitutions actually exposed to an AIG bankruptcy would have amounted to
no more than a few months’ bonus accrual.

Edge cases?

That's the entire middle class you just called an edge case. You might be able to do the math, they can't. All they know is that they bought for £150k, sold for £175k, woohoo, they made £25k. Doesn't matter their new house was even more expensive.

Also the baby boomers cashed out big on their houses before the recession, so their children irrationally believe that's what's going to happen to them.

All your other (pretty good) points now look slightly ridiculous by association because you're so out of touch with normal people.
Coding rehabilitation plan?
I have been writing code ever since I was 5 years old. Was pretty good at it. I became an entrepreneur 5 years ago and since last 3 years I haven't been coding. I have to take care of product, strategy etc.
Now I am completely out of touch. How to get back to it? Obviously I have the coding aptitude, but I am out of touch with the current tools, APIs, function calls, libraries.
What is the rehabilitation plan? Anybody who has gone through this?

Dell is trying to follow the Big Blue "IBM's" path.
I'm a programmer currently working in central London (relocated from Italy about 1month ago). While i don't want to publicly disclose my salary, i can tell you that you can expect to do a bit more than double of what you just mentioned. For a junior-mid position you can expect to get something between 45-55k GBP. For a senior position you are supposed to get something between 55k to 70k. This is assuming you are working with a permanent position, if you work as an external consultant you will probably make 400-600GBP/day.

It also hugely depends on the field where you'll be working, financial institutions are well known to offer better wages (but it's mostly a very stressing environment).
That's an interesting and potentially useful idea, but if you go down that road, I think it'd be immediately relevant to also go into available subtitle languages. It also really depends on where this site gets its data from, as the "from [country x]" filtering can yield some questionable results.

Remember...

1) A job specification is a wish list. I'd love to employ someone who can code like a pro in 17 different languages. And only wants £15k. But I know I'm going to have to settle.

2) Your job desire is a wish list. You want a 15% pension, a BYOD budget, and be paid to go for conferences. You'll have to compromise somewhere.

3) There is a shortage - but companies don't always behave with economic rationality. If half the web developers in the UK died from Ebola, I'm still not sure I could convince my finance director to alter the yearly budget.

My advice to you would be to seek out a graduate training course (if you are a grad). If not, check out some other training schemes like Talentum http://www.telefonicaando2careers.com/gb/explore-our-opportu... (full disclosure, my employer runs that one).

I would also advise you to prove yourself at an interview and then simply ask for more money than they originally offered. Doesn't always work - but if you're worth it, you'll get paid.

Finally - and this probably isn't what you want to hear - suck it up. Spend a year getting paid a shitty wage and then - hey presto - you now have 12 months of experience, a portfolio, and references which you can use to get a better job.

HTH.
Just had a heart attack
In the ICU at UNC hospital in chapel hill. Had emergency surgery and it looks like I'll be OK.

Wish I had some deep insights to share as a result but right now all I can really say is

"If you start feeling chest pains, don't hesitate to call 911. If I'd waited much longer I probably wouldn't be here to send this. Learn the warning signs and call 911 if in doubt."
I'll also join in recommending this.
I wouldn't worry that much.
I'm a Java Developer from Hungary with 4 years experience behind my back when I came here to the UK last year.
My first job was with 22K and over a year I almost doubled my salary.
The problem is with web development, that most of the developers come from a home learning background with almost zero commercial experience and nothing to show up.
This is funny, because some fields need a portfolio or something, like Android development, where the candidate has to have successful apps on the Play Store. ( But who want's to work at a company if you have a selling app which makes you enough money)
These things can water down the industry a bit.
And don't forget, that as the candidate so does the company likes to lie a bit.
They wan't more and more skills and we usually say more that we actually know.
I would say, if you're confident enough with your skills and you can sell yourself, then always go for the highest offer.
They very well know they won't get anyone decent with that low of a wage. But they like to try.
And after a year or so, go and look for a new job. With one or two years commercial experience and something to show, you will get a lot better positions offered.
While I agree, I don't think attempting to perfect a ranking algorithm is useful beyond a certain point. At least for the topics I checked, it's reasonably close; there were a lot I didn't agree with, but then if it yielded my exact personal ranking, a lot of others wouldn't agree with it. So it's a bit of a roll of the dice, which in a way is nice, since there's just no ideal algorithm to be found. Getting close, which in my opinion they have, is pretty great.
Eh, the Rakudo Perl 6 implementation has been doing monthly releases since before 2010, and I don't get the impression that's done much to convince doubters. (Despite amazing progress since 2010.)

Of the varied bizarrely negative posts this submission has earned, yours is the one that perplexes me most. How is HTTP/2 going to "bite" Google (even if we assume that Google is the only initiator of the HTTP/2 spec, while they're far from it)?

Is the web, right now, failing? Are those little sites somehow not existing? You seem to be positing that a new standard not supporting your pet feature is suddenly going to destroy the web, which seems a little hysterical.

Interesting to note that as a relatively small shop we've already seen huge benefits from SPDY (the precursor) because it allows us to serve from a single site in the US, offering a much, much better experience for our users in Singapore (the benefits to high latency connections are significantly higher than the results commonly reported).
Pirating is common in my country

No, of course that's not why the web is slow.

What is the point of this sort of lowbrow sarcasm, fueled by raw cynicism?

Web applications have gotten significantly more complex. From a developer perspective, managing resources separately is a lot easier than using image sprites, giant merged CSS files, etc, though such is often forced because of the known inefficiencies of HTTP. Yes, this seems like an improvement. Are there sites that have other problems? Yeah, sure, of course. That doesn't make it less of a benefit.

>he may have played loose with the rules ... he is one of the few who can tackle it head on, which ultimately will benefit everyone.

He --may-- have? Let's not whitewash history. He not only very much played loose with the rules, he outright broke the rules and trampled upon laws that caused far-reaching net damage to society in the process.

Like yourself and most others, I'm certainly pleased that Gates has decided to give back a small portion of his overall plunder from society, but it also shouldn't act as a public relations whitewash that erases his past history. His charity doesn't simply erase his overall negative impacts upon society that runs easily into the trillions and also took away from charity by proxy and directly in the process as well for decades.

We should teach future generations to give to charity, but in the process we shouldn't also instruct future generations that the way Gates amassed his ridiculous amount of money and power was acceptable and good for society overall.

Despite what they and their lackeys would have many of us believe, society prospers without megalomaniacal billionaires. Billionaires reach that ridiculous, megalomaniacal status by pushing the externalities produced via their business growth upon the rest of society instead of paying it themselves.

Once externalities are accounted for, there are very few organic, ethical ways to acquire and hoard that kind of wealth without stunting the rest of society in insidious ways. And, by the time one "gives it away", all the greater damage has already been done in the meantime.

We don't need them. For example, the overwhelming majority of charity comes from small businesses and lower income individuals. The same individuals and small businesses that are drastically hurt and destroyed by the business practices of people like Gates and other billionaires.

Keep in mind, large corporations and people like Bill Gates give only a tiny percentage of overall charity, but they (and their lackeys) spend vastly more on telling everyone about it through various public relations channels, etc. and that's why it distorts public perception on who really gives the lion's share to charity overall.

Again, I'm very happy Gates is giving to charity, but let's not whitewash his overall net impact against society in the process. He accomplished some great good for society with his business and now his charity as well. But, for us to ignore all the harm he's caused with his past business practices over those decades isn't fair to society and it's a horrible lesson for future generations that may think they should emulate the methodologies billionaires like him use to acquire and hoard enough wealth to reach that "status".

There's much more to the story of Bill Gates and his dire issues with externalities (and charity issues as well) that we shouldn't ignore in our haste to worship him and/or as someone else in this thread did... apply some sort of sainthood.

I might feel bad for people dealing with housing in SF.. But I live in Auckland. Considering moving back to Texas so I can feel sorry for people dealing with both cities' housing.

Most aren't familiar so I'll paint a picture(in NZD). The average selling price for a home just this past September was 683,101. What will 683k get you? Pretty much a shack by US standards. Probably no insulation. No central AC. It's actually pretty hard to describe just how little you get. Sure, you can buy lower but even at 550k homes come with descriptive words like "Real potential", "A real do-up", "Great starting point", "Fringe", "A foot on the ladder". Oh, and did I mention the 20% DP you need for a mortgage now? And the interest rates will have you paying double unless you pay it off fast. Meanwhile, median household income is about 60K(USD).

Renting? Anything under 400/week will most likely be unsuitable for a couple. You really don't start hitting "descent" until you're closing in on 500/week and they come with more bedrooms than you need.. Almost no good one bedrooms. There is this threshold you have to cross before you start finding places that have been kept up. See, there is a tremendous housing shortage. This causes much of the low end stuff to go barely maintained through decades of renter churn because they are sure to find another renter regardless. You might search months for a suitable place to rent, and then have to contend with many others after the same place. Often between the time a listing goes up and you can call, same day, it's mysteriously gone. A lot of the choice places don't schedule appointments; they herd groups of 20 through at designated times on viewing days. The property management agents, which you'll most likely be dealing with because you're renting a property from some guys portfolio of like 5(corporate owned apartment complexes are almost unheard of), are often times very unhelpful and even rude.

A lot of the points about renting are mirrored in buying. Most homes go to auction because the shortage. People get desperate and end up bidding high to secure a place and be done with the process.

In the US people absolutely hate packing and moving. In Auckland simply finding a suitable place to live is so bad, you don't really pay any mind to the actual moving:|

How Your Office Became a Middle-School Chat Room
The current climate is interesting. I think it's no coincidence that we are about one generation since soviet communism failed as a political movement and it became obvious that other leftist economies would either reform or be overthrown.

In any case, the current debate will perhaps be fruitful. Wealth disparity. Acceleration of Automation. Jobs evolving so fast that the paradigm of eduction-qualification-work is getting very clumsy. A resurgence of the old leftist idea that wealth distribution is inevitably political, mores than nationalism, religion or anything else.

It's all interesting.

Personally, I think the major force at play in our time is technology. Fraking for all its controversial implications has already lowered energy prices. Perhaps all the research and motivation to develop other energy sources will give us the awaited revolutionary 10X increase in energy availability. Computing continues to generate wealth and promises of more wealth.

The communication mediums open between most people on earth are developing at a blistering pace. The effects of cultural globalization may dwarf those of economic globalization.

It's not surprising that we have an appetite fro radical thought.

ChartMogul:  Analytics for Stripe, Braintree, Chargify and Recurly
I guess if someone is making a good living out of it and that avoids the person having to shift to another country its their choice and its OK. But I am surprised the law does not protect remote workers more from these things in european countries. I personally think that remote workers should be more protected.

One thing to bear in mind is that we humans beings have evolved to live during the day, and there are health implications for living most of the time at night. This is why petrol workers etc. can only work one week or so a month in the night, and are compensated accordingly.

But an employer can't just say that an employee will work all the time at night for years, its illegal AFIK due to the aforementioned health implications for the worker.

Shift works is one thing, working all the time at night because the employer is in a different timezone? sounds illegal to me and so the question of its it frequent.

There are other problems with working all the time at night: the impact on your social life, if you have kids they go to bed at 8h so if you start working at 6PM and work through the night basically you never see them etc.

This is why I found it very surprising, because this is apparently happening with engineers living in european countries, where the law is supposed to shield them against these things and there is a lack of software developers everywhere.
Functional Programming Long Road to Enlightenment: A Historical Narrative
And as soon as the buttons and the scripts are delivered from other servers, you effectively can't speed their delivery up.

Aside from the fact that choosing to use those sorts of resources is optional, those (facebook/google+ buttons and likes, etc) are virtually always asynchronous loads -- they do not hold up the render of the root page whatsoever. So if your target is displaying the recipe in 200ms, but the Facebook button takes 400ms -- guess what, the recipe page will still be shown in entirety in 200ms.
