I could not disagree more with Michał.

When I first read his blog post I added an item to my todo list to write a lengthy reply. I never did, and now I think it is time to do so — but it will be in Polish, as it is mostly Polish people who might be interested.

I think Michał has an extreme view of both the United States (which is not the paradise he paints it to be) and Poland (which isn't nearly as bad as he describes). As someone who has lived both in Poland and the US, I came to opposite conclusions: I would much rather live in Poland. I could live anywhere (I don't have the visa problem like he did), but my choice is to live in Poland.

I am puzzled by his extremely negative experiences. People all around me get paid good money for doing extremely interesting work. The money isn't necessarily the same as in the Silicon Valley, but it goes a long way here: living in Poland (even in the largest cities) still isn't as expensive as in Western Europe. All in all, as a young person entering adult life, you will be much better off here than in the US, assuming you are a highly-skilled professional (which he is the extreme definition of!).

I also find it disconcerting that he begins with a historical note, describing Poland's struggle for independence, and then follows with a description of how he basically said "I don't care" and moved out. It is worth considering what happens to countries where most people make a similar decision.

But most importantly, I don't understand Michał's negative viewpoint. My experiences have been very different: my standard of living here in Poland is really good. I don't want to describe what I dislike about the US, especially since Michał does not seem to even consider criticism ("no matter how smug the critics are"), so I'll just say that it can look very, very different from a different person's point of view.
Uhm, a little bit premature with this article. It hit a downturn, but its coming back again. I and others are getting offers in the secondary parts (we need IT for example) and construction is still delayed on the east side of the state because all the truck drivers are still in the west.

Yes, we remember the bust of the 80's and the state's budgeting reflects that.

I suggest to read everything from Marshall Rosenberg and friends on Non Violent Communication [1]. A great way to start is his website [2] and the first chapter of the book with the same name [3].

Do note however that this will probably not help you dealing with toxic narcissistic assholes who are mainly out there to hurt you to make them feel good about themselves in any way they can. You can almost never say or do anything right amongst those, no matter how you behave.

-Right now our area has a special - 10 for $1.39. Last year they had 4 for $1.00. Regular price here is $5.00 for 20 piece and around $3.50 for 10 piece. People have been buying alot more nuggets but I still see poor people like me buying the expensive burger option. I think the crumbs users are just buying the 10 piece because they don't realize the 20 piece is the same price.

Fascinating op-ed in the New York Times regarding how Facebook makes money off us and our data.

They currently make one cent for every hour each of us spends on there.

I would certainly be happy to pay Facebook 20 cents a month in order for my data and privacy to remain intact, and to be a customer rather than a product.

The problem with Facebook and other such sites, is that we believe they are free, when actually we are paying for them with things that are often more valuable than money itself.
But the prices are in euro.

I'm writing this just to illustrate my point: why "but"?

You make it seem like your statement is contradicting mine, yet I fail to see the connection.
One final question.

Let's say that an attacking organization fully installs your sensor in their own lab. What is to prevent them from engineering an approach to fully defeat the sensor itself?

I have to agree with this. It is inhumane and immoral not to bail them out if we can. Sure they have a huge responsibility for their situation however we all do. Much of what caused the crisis globally is being allowed to continue unchecked. We are sleep walking into another crisis yet we are all happy to point the finger at Greece's transgressions as if they are somehow worse than our own.

I don't agree with much of the fiscal and financial structures, strategies and ethos of the world at the moment however this is the path we are on and pivoting out of it will cause huge disruption and suffering. Austerity and measures forced by her creditors have so far failed Greece. It doesn't look bright in the future so they are correct to question the strategy however if they don't get their own house in order it will all be in vain. I think they realise this.

Well, announcing them before imposing them is even worse (everybody panics, chaos ensues).

The ECB let them keep their current lifeline for a few more days, but it looks like it's still not sure yet whether the banks will open. (which means they probably wont - see above).

edit: updated with the fact that the current emergency aid from the ECB might not be enough to keep the banks open.
I think it's because it sets a poor first impression or creates inaccurate expectations. It may cause a feeling of letdown once you get in the door and see what you will actually be doing. Once, I had a position where the interview process had me thinking I was going to be doing much more exciting things than I actually did. The strange thing about it was that if I had realized that I was going to be doing that work beforehand I might have been okay with it. Instead the letdown tainted my experience there from day one and I never really got on track and left soon after. I wonder if that is what is going on here.
Maybe they made a referral of a person they knew would be great, but they didn't make it through the interview process. After that happens once or twice, it could be somewhat demotivating.

I don't know you at all, so it's hard to really give advice. From my experience though, most tech-industry men who can't find a date have some combination of these problems:

* obsessively interested in/talking about tech or related "geek topics" above all other things (imagine you had a lawyer friend who talked of nothing but legal arcana, rumors about SCOTUS clerks, etc - it comes across as boring, myopic and self-involved)

* not good at listening and engaging with someone about their interests, making the right kind of eye contact, paying attention to subtle body language/tone of voice, understanding collaborative decision-making (wanna stop by my place?), etc.

* physical/life-upkeep stuff (including parent), not knowing how to cook food/play music/dance/enjoy shared physical activity

Basically, the things human beings connect on, especially in regards to a romantic connection, are innate to the human experience. These romantic connections have been happening since before humans even had language or civilization. It's about experiencing in some sense a shared reality with another being.

Information technology is like this telescoping pyramid of abstraction built upon itself, and people who are deep experts in tech tend to get lost in that and other worlds of abstractions, replacing the territory with the map, and losing the ability to have a real shared, authentic, embodied experience with another person.

One clue is you can have that experience with barely a word spoken - the number of relationships that began with little more than dancing and eye contact has got to be astonishing.

MDMA, Bikram Yoga, dance lessons, start a garden, volunteer at some charity or activist groups where you'll work with other people, rock climbing, get a dog ... something along those lines should help, assuming you actually do it authentically, not for the sake of logging it in HealthKit ;)

It's not going to go bust. US crude oil production is up one million barrels per day over this time last year. People don't seem to realize that what's going on is a fundamental, permanent shift in how the US extracts domestic oil. They aren't going to just pack up their technology and return to drilling 1993 style.

The industry will find a lower level normal, drop backwards on production by ~10%, and then resume growing again, at a slower pace (so long as the price of oil stays subdued).

The big players have dropped their cost by roughly $20 / barrel in just the last 24 months. In another year or two the ones that are left will be profitable at $40-$45 oil.

Which is why Saudi Arabia just announced plans to max out its oil production. OPEC is going to struggle to hold oil low enough to drown the US majors like EOG, Pioneer, Continental and Apache.

That's silly. I, as an individual, am a business: I perform work in return for pay, just as a business provides goods and services in return for payment. If the work I do is writing a blog, and the payment comes from ads or subscriptions, I should be permitted not to have my home address broadcast to all and sundry.

But there aren't many countries in the First World that run revenue neutral or better. The U.S. certainly doesn't, and most countries with fiat currencies and their own central banks don't. I realize it's "possible" in the broad sense, but Germany aside, it's a big ask of Greece (and austerity thus far has done about bupkis to actually deal with the fallout of the financial crisis).
Have you lived in the rural USA? If someone is a minor the cops are still allowed to scare the hell out of them and shame them. Yes, if they are a minor, they might escape something on their record that will destroy their life, but we'd rather they learn then end up with a dead end life.

I have found urban cops to be less responsive and more prone to take a police report over the phone (for insurance purposes) then to actually deal with robbery or other "minor" offenses. Had my car broken into in a underground parking lot with cameras and video of the person who did it (portable drills are wonderful things). Didn't show up but we got a case # for insurance.

I think if you put 3 months or longer for job that you leave after 11 months, you can feel that your return on investment is not something you imagined. I would be disappointed if I would put lots of effort to get job that is not "dream job" I thought it will be. That is what people do I imagine, jump lots of hops to get there but then it is normal job you can get somewhere else without making all that effort.

The alternative is to start investing in Greece. To build up it's economy so we can end the Greek Depression. As it stands now the austerity packages have cut 30% off of the economy and increased the unemployment rates to nearly 30%, 50% of the youth. Those are Great Depression size numbers. Hard to collect taxes when people are not working. All these bailouts are basically just the Troika hand wringing about giving money to themselves while the country they are helping is bled dry. To date the IMF have made about 2.5 Billion, Germany profited to the tune of 100 Billion.
Oh wow, this seems really interesting. Although I think I will give this a try if nothing else comes up, to me this is more along the lines of contract work then selling software.
The author is also a Dartmouth student, so his customer base of undergraduates is not exactly the same as most samples of undergrads. Ivy League students tend to be a lot less price-conscious.

The bigger question, is whether his service operates late-night. With Gusanoz gone, pretty much the only option for late-night drunk food is EBAs, home of the most godawful and expensive pizza I've ever experienced. If somebody opened a 24-hour hotdog cart or something and parked it on Webster Avenue, they'd make a killing.

my post history is guilty of this crime quite often. will that count?
Hmm. I'm not so sure I read the story that way.

There's a couple of things which are relevant :

1. It seems unclear if it was the driver who had opened the door to rush the passenger out at a set of lights (not sure of the SF rules on that, but in various European countries, the police can ticket drivers for that alone - traffic lights are not a legal spot for passenger entry or exit).

2. The picture of the supposed damage shows a very minor scratch in the trim. Something more akin to normal wear and tear. The $1,600 bill for that supposed damage seems like a lot of bill padding.

In fact, it sounds like a scam by the driver to me and the uber customer is stuck with a $250 bill and no way to dispute it or the facts involved in the case.

Normally, for insurance, if you have to pay out, you get salvage rights on the replaced part. The best course would be for the customer to claim the supposed replaced door as salvage and then try to sell it on eBay (I'm sure some publicity will help get a good price). It also makes sure this supposed replaced door is really replaced.
This is very rare, though.

The UK company registration system has an address exception for directors that was put in place for and used by one very specific company: Huntingdon Life Sciences. They are a medical research company that were targeted by activists with death threats, arson, and other acts of minor terrorism over a 15-year period.
