What are you talking about? Cygwin provides packages for bash, dash, fish, tcsh, zsh, and others. It's not a crutch, these are the exact same shells you run on Unix(-like) systems. The source is the same, albeit with some Cygwin specific patches, but that's no different than any other Unix-like distribution that applies patches to upstream packages (e.g. Debian, FreeBSD, Gentoo, etc...).

Your NiH assertion doesn't even remotely make sense. PowerShell is fundamentally different from traditional Unix shells and has many interesting, unique & innovative features. Not liking them or agreeing with the philosophy is entirely valid, but suggesting they've just refused to use an existing shell because of NiH isn't born out by the facts.

Honestly, I'd suggest trying to adapt an existing Unix style shell to Windows as the "official" shell would be an inherently bad idea at worst and extremely difficult at best. Apart from the numerous issues that traditional shells have which PowerShell seeks to address (reliance on string parsing, lack of consistency in commands/parameterss, etc...), traditional Unix shells are very much built around a Unix operating system philosophy, especially wrt. exposing operating system internals, devices, etc... via the file system. That's a great thing, but it's not so much applicable to Windows.

You'd either need to radically re-design large chunks of the system to conform to the Unix philosophy of exposing much of the system via the file system, which let's face it, is unlikely to happen, much less any time soon, or augment the shell with a lot of extra support for Windows specific functionality (e.g. the Registry, WMI, etc...). Things as simple as ACLs on Unix won't even map nicely. Better to have a shell that works well for Windows and fits its administrative model than trying to shoe-horn in a shell designed with a completely different administrative philosophy in mind.

You mention OS X, and yes, they did get it to work. As other commenters have mentioned though, OS X is UNIX. As in, UNIX(R). The userland API exposed by the kernel is based off BSD, as are large chunks of the operating system (although, Apple seems to be replacing them one by one). It's pretty easy to use a nix shell when your operating system is largely based on Unix (at least, from the perspective of userland applications).

Google starting salary is more than I will ever make (as an employee) and I'm in fact doing very well for my age group, in Belgium that is.
I couldn't agree more with jmnicolas - the situation is pretty similar in France, Switzerland, Belgium and Austria. There is some "hope" in UK and Germany, where they really expect to have something done.

There was a guy (can't remember his name) who said that US is the only place where you can put US guys, Mexican, Chinese and ... (whoever) and make them work together. In Europe this is not the case, probably because of historical reasons and as a result of the last 30 years of immigration policy (especially the french-speaking countries).

My other theory is that Europe is left behind US in the technical area. If something is top-notch in USA, it will "come" in mainland Europe in 10 or more years. For e.g. now the MBA is hot trend.

Disclaimer: I've been working remotely for the last 4 years.
I don't understand why Americans ever talk in gross income. Where I live people speak and negotiate only in net income, they don't even consider taxed money as their money.
This. I always wonder when a startup becomes a company too.

I heard Soundcloud is paying good money though but at least for all the Berlin startups the wage is more one the low side. Wire for example is based in Switzerland for taxes but the development happens in Berlin. A not-to-be-named company I worked for decided not to outsource development to Warsaw since developers are more expensive there than in Berlin (they found even cheaper ones later in other countries though).

For some of the list I still wonder why and how they exist since I don't get the business model but maybe a startup is a startup as long as they live from investor money.
Sure, assuming housing prices don't continue to grow. But lending rates in China are about 6% or so, just the interest alone on a $200k mortgage is absolutely insane for an ordinary Chinese person. It's almost twice the annual gdp per capita.

Meanwhile here in the Netherlands a typical house will set you back $250k but the per capita gdp is $50k. Of course the Netherlands is wealthier, but you'd think its housing prices would reflect that and show a similar income/housing ratio, roughly speaking, but it's just completely different.

Housing is in a huge bubble and there's a crazy gap between wages and housing in China. If wages continue to grow while houses don't, sure... but that'd also mean people will sell their homes because they're no good as an investment anymore, which pops the bubble, and that'll create a ton of debt as people are stuck with $200k mortgages on a home worth $100k or less, that's structurally so unsound it'll be demolished within 20-30 years.

My outlook is pretty pessimistic tbh. Although it does seem to be a problem confined to particular areas, that must be said.

Their price is $100 and with that there's the usual risks of kickstarter delays/cancellations. But as an alternative things like the nokia 130 (http://www.microsoft.com/en/mobile/phone/130/specifications/) are already available cheaper have a longer battery life and proven track record...

That said the kickstarter already has £250k so they've obviously convinced some people!
Quartz clocks can be inaccurate and can vary greatly with temperature. Beyond temperature-compensated crystal oscillators (TCXO) which are designed to be reasonably stable over a prescribed temperature range, there are oven-controlled crystal oscillators (OCXO)[1], that are held at a stable temperature in a small can with a heating element controlled by something like PID control. For anything requiring affordable stable timekeeping (this includes high data rate/quantization multimeters like the HP 3458A), an OCXO is a pretty good way to go. GPS is a fine reference to start one from and with specialized hardware GPS itself can be used as a MHz clock. For everything else there are TCXOs, and if you really don't care on-die RC oscillators can be used (this is the internal oscillator on an Atmega, for example, the default until you add an external crystal). If money is no object, atomic clocks are of course also an option. Past press mentioned that Google uses GPS-referenced atomic clocks to keep their data enter clocks in sync [2].

As an amusing aside, my kitchen oven clock has a poorly-chosen TCXO, such that it is not stable over the temperature range normally experienced by an over control panel. It's a great example of not designing to the application. Whenever I bake something, time accelerates on the oven clock. It's like a cookie-making time machine.

If you are interested in learning more about the hardware of crystal oscillators, this application note from HP is terrific:

From my anectodal experience from hiring and talking with recruiters, the salaries are growing. More startups appearing, more investments coming to yesterday's startups lead to the shortage of (good) engineers, even with growing migration to Berlin. Say Java / Scala senior developers are now 60-75K, and some companies give more, experienced frontend guys pretty close to these numbers as well.

There are also said to be some companies, particularly under Rocket Internet's umbrella, that try to beat down salaries by actively hiring and relocating developers from outside the EU / lower income countries.
Buck: A high-performance build tool for Android
No need to apologize, frankly this needs a lot more discussion than it's probably going to get.
That is an extremely limited form of democracy, to only be able to decide on a huge swathe of legislation with just a yes or a no. And on top of that, when something like this is tied in with the trade deals, it would be impossible to reverse it because of the potential for an economic shock and destabilization of the financial system.

If a government came in that wanted to shift the balance - for instance on this issue, of human health, quality of life, and the environment on the one hand, and agricultural productivity on the other - previously they would be able to change the law. Under TTIP, they have to renege on the trade deals covering, what, a third of the economy. That is to all practical purposes impossible. You might as well have written the law into the constitution.

That doesn't mean I'm against all international treaties, but usually those cover issues which are inherently international. TTIP represents the movement of large swathes of what would once have been domestic legislation into international treaties, and the mechanisms which would have been appropriate for, say, an international convention on cross-border child abduction, are not appropriate for deciding whether or not a country is allowed to ban activities which are dangerous to the health of its citizens, within its own borders.

Yet according to some (and it is open to interpretation) the UK has a lower productivity than France, by a pretty huge margin. It seems that the UK, while it might expect to have something done, by comparison actually gets a lot less done.

The lure of the signing "bonus"...
The lack of a sensible bankruptcy procedure for countries is a serious problem. Individuals can discharge debts in bankruptcy in order to get back on their feet. Companies have at least two different kinds of bankruptcy depending on whether they can be run as a going concern or not. But a FX-denominated debt is potentially an anchor on your country forever. Look at the Argentine "pari passu" fiasco for example.

Imposing an unpayable debt on a country that forces poverty on its citizens has a real and serious cost in human life. Wars have been fought over this; it's often argued that the reparations debt imposed on Germany after WW1 was a contributing factor to WW2.

The research methodology seem to have looked at the amount of people looking for privacy tools, privacy statements, and usage of privacy tools. This seem to correlate with news article, and then die down a time afterward.

I am not very surprised by this. If one would look at global health news and news about diseases, and correlate that with purchases of health products, you would likely find similar pattern where you get initial peaks that is followed with a decreased interest which slowly returns to original levels. Once you have tried a product out, its hard to notice any difference and its thus easy to return to previous behavior after a initial scare.

What is hard to predict is if peoples risk analyses changes from reading such news. After Snowden, has help lines, priests, lawyers, and therapist seen a impact? If so, how much and for how long? The decision to try out tor for a week and then switching back feels inherently different from deciding to not call a help line in case someone might be listening in.

Now that is a significant point - once you are actively selling on an open market then commercial concerns (if nothing else) dictate you be careful about naming.

Of course there is nothing to stop you haveing two names: the free-for-personal use "Agent Ransack" also goes by "File Locator Pro" for commercial licenses, presumably because the latter sounds more professional.

Firstly it wouldn't happen even with black money. There's no point having assets you can't use. You're better off just paying the tax and collecting rent.

There'd be a lot of jobs building them.

And the housing market would become cheaper since they have to be sold at some point.

Interesting study. Intelligence and the immune system share a common property in that they are have a very large number of genes influencing them (several thousand). I would not be surprised if there is quite a bit of overlap in the genes that contibute to both intelligence and immunity. What we might be seeing here is the effect of null mutations in genes that effect both immunity and intellegence.

Parliamentary democracies are often deeply flawed and in need of reform. That much is obvious (in the UK at any rate).

The problem with the EU is that is is even less democratic and hence less accountable than the pre-existing system of national governments.

Furthermore, as this article shows, the EU makes it easier for large companies and trading blocks to pull-off greater subversions and abuses of power via lobbying and corruption, since power is concentrated in a much smaller number of people.

The founders and implementors of the EU "project" used the term "ever tighter integration" in their founding documents, where they laid out their vision for a United States of Europe.

They even describe how they intended to implement this via a technique called "gradualism". The idea being that big sweeping reforms would be rejected by the individual polities, but that more gradual, subtle changes spread over time could achieve the same effect without the same resitance. And we have seen this in action over the past forty years.

A bit like the apochryphal boiling of a frog.

The problem is that this is in some sense subversive and in another, presumptious that the EU project is desired and/or sensible. At some point the frog metaphor breaks down and people begin to realize what is happening and what has happened.

And in the UK at least, finally, we are beginning to see a debate being held on the desirability of the EU being a political union (rather than the more prosaic free-trade area).
The EU now has a directly elected President in all but name, through the Spitzenkandidaten system. Legally, its supposed to be a joint decision of the Council and the Parliament, but when Cameron tried to object to Juncker, it seemed to be pretty clear that the new expectation is that the Council rubber-stamps Parliament's decision, and Parliament will support the party receiving the largest number of votes.

What, if any, are the bad consequences of instant on for TVs?

The whole discussion is ridiculous to me. All of the money filters back up to the capitalists anyway. Is that not mind-bendingly obvious?

If you are a recipient of the basic income, you spend it all. Every last dollar. You don't build net worth and take it out of the economy. (If more than a small hardcore crowd even can, it's been set too high).

In a country like the UK, that gets taxed at 50%+ (providing the tax authorities are actually doing their job and have not been deliberately underfunded). So half of it almost immediately goes back into the Government coffers.

I don't understand why people spend so much time doing arcane analyses whilst seemingly missing how the economy works at a very basic level.

Government spending can be a net drain in two broadly defined ways, as far as I can see. There may be others that I am missing.

1. Giving money to the rich directly who then hoard it.
2. Inefficient allocation of human talent or natural resources (e.g. if the government paid me 200k pa to chew pens, and I gave up my real job).

Spending on the poor really cannot cost money unless you have issues with collecting taxes.
