This move shows that you generally should not trust cloud offerings, if they mainly replace what you already had at home before. Onedrive already "took" my files away, as they degraded features on the PC. Where before in Win 8.1 w

It always depends on how you react, if you are passive (like the author of the article) or active. While I too get many mails/calls that are unnecessary, I like to keep active contact with some recruiters I came to like and call them&#

Try the heart of Switzerland, you might even get a job that pays like crazy. If you prefer to pay less for rent, move to south Bavaria in Germany's beautiful south. Munich might provide enough work, if you are willing to drive an hour

Nothing to be surprised here. Anyway, finally this might be the perfect time to consider a market entry again after a lost year so far. Lost if you were refusing to buy at much too high prices. Let it go down some more days and invest then

Thanks for curating that wonderful list. I'd contradict you by saying that the poor have it much better in Germany than in the USA (same great health insurance as everyone else, no masses of homeless people like in US cities) and I&#x2

Good idea. I'd also put Switzerland on the list of almost perfect countries. Best democracy there is, good welfare, good income, good environmental protection, acceptable (low) taxes.

Yes, the micro and macro levels are contradicting. On the micro level, it is everyones personal best to leave and try to make a good life outside. On the macro level, it is best to stay and work on changing things for the better.

by the way, most of you listed shortcomings are true as well as for China as Iran. But they would not allow your post to appear here. Maybe they'd come to your house and just put you into jail for anti-government propaganda. Good count

Go there, they welcome guys like you. See, I am not necessarily talking about the USA as I am from Europe. But I value the universal right of the western world for free expression very much. There is no such thing as the perfect country, bu

as a sidenote I encourage all people with talent to leave countries with suppressive regimes. I think they should be erased from their position. One way to do that is to encourage everyone to leave their country. One can argue that staying

wish you all the best. I pay 5$ for a digitalocean droplet to provide my family in Iran with an OpenVPN connection. This works quite well, we do not have any issues so far.

Cool. I think it is some kind of special award one can win: being blocked by an authoritarian government. Kudos to Reddit. Long live free speech.

As a frequent traveler to Iran (for family reasons) I am happy to see a growing startup scene in Iran. But there are some things for the average Silicon Valley entrepreneur to be aware of. 1.) Moving to the Iranian market is not your typica

wrong in some aspects. As in most European countries an hour off at noon is mandatory, so you can't leave early for family. Tax is indeed not 5% (only the federal part), but rather 10-20% depending on where you live and how much you ma

It is, because they get them after serving mandatory time in the military. So more or less every swiss man has a military grade weapon at home. Only in newer times the ammunition is stored in special houses in each community. Before, they h

you may say the right thing. But there are too many things they did right in democratic, business or welfare aspects that one should ask what they have to teach us to make the hundred millions of Americans live better. There are smaller and

Switzerland is the closest to paradise a state can get. Much more libertarian on the business side than its European neighbours, much more welfare than USA and most other countries that are business friendly. All that with having the most d

Because they are used to do so and because they are completely detached from the reality of their people. For the average Iranian, USA is the land to go. And you can't image how similar things look! Highways, signs, style of buildings

yes... while I also rather like economy friendly governments, it is pure logic that if you ignore the poor, they will come knocking on your door in one way or the other... Some kind of welfare is good for the rich (they can enjoy their mone

After visiting the USA in December 2014 I cannot help but wonder why the matter of homeless people is not one of the biggest issues in the country. While you see homeless people occasionally here in Europe, streets seemed to be flooded by t

Interestingly, this kind of invitation-taroof is most often meant like they say. If they insist (and always make sure they insist) on inviting you, it is genuinely meant this way. There is no trap, no second meaning to it. My iranian wife,

Yes, you are right: taarof is entirely non-religious and practiced by believers and atheists alike. I can't tell if it really prevents violent conflicts. Maybe... I also don't know if it makes life easier due to some standards of
