A major difference is that a senior developer does not limit themselves to just software development. They learn something about ops, they learn about tuning a database (whether SQL or noSQL), they learn about business problems and so on. T

Typical Americans. You have a growing problem with police corruption in your country and you can only talk about race relations. Cops who do the things described in the article are breaking the law in other ways when you aren't watchin

Actually ceramic materials make the best protection against missiles like bullets or meteorites. So an advanced race of star travelers would not use metal-skinned ships, they would coat their vessels with a thick layer of porous rock. All w

The EU had Ukraine over a barrel and was demanding that they sign a punitive agreement that would have caused even greater hardship than the country is suffering now. Have you read that association agreement? It is brutal. What I want to kn

Belgium was split along historical lines but they talked over their differences and found common ground. The result of that was the beginning of the European Union which is why Brussels, Belgium is the EU capital today. So why can't th

Over the last couple of months there is photo evidence of protestors with pistols and sniper rifles. Not to mention the bullets removed from wounded police officers. And who is to say that the gunshot victims were not shot by rivals in the

The president was elected in a hotly contested election that attracted international observers from a number of international election watch groups. They agreed that it was mostly a fair election. Roughly as fair as the USA with hacked voti

This is a pure propaganda piece that shows nothing other than some skill in video editing and constructing a sound track. Think, people, think. Do you want to spread this message in your countries? This summer when there is an Occupy or 99%

On the Spilno TV feed (update 7) I can hear people talking in both Ukrainian and in Russian. Maybe this is not really about a split between western Ukrainians and ethnic Russians.

When riot forces block all surrounding streets it means that they intend to slowly close in and arrest everybody. No food or water goes into the area. People cannot leave until and unless the police are ready to arrest them.

On the national scale in Ukraine, I think you are right. But on the scale of individuals, there really are a bunch of vicious people who hate Russia, hate the EU, hate America and also hate the fatcats of Ukraine like Yanukovich. But they l

The funny thing is that RUSSIA is veering towards closer alliance with Europe, and continues to do so. An awful lot of the changes that Putin has brought to Russia are exactly the kind of things that the EU demands of its member countries.

I don't think that Russia cares about a few extremists rioting in a small area in the downtown area of Ukraine. Russia wins either way. If the Ukraine ends up on the EU accession path, they will just end up destabilizing the EU itself.

That is what they have done in France with Sophia-Antipolis, and in the Moscow suburbs with Skolkovo. Part of the difference here is that they are not just going for the quick bucks, but putting down solid roots in research which will pay o

Agreed. SV is driven more by gambling and outrageous risk-taking. That paid off when the market for technology companies was young, but now it is maturing and there are more entrants from around the world, i.e. more competition. So Europe&#

This does not sound like the Europe I lived in for 11 years. You have a typical America-centric view of the Europe that is totally out of touch with reality. Europe is not a simple place because it has many cultures and a huge population, b

Feedback, yeah! It's odd how so many software companies claim to be Agile and when it comes to employer/employee relations they toss the Agile Manifesto out the window. Agile is founded on communications and short feedback loops.

Júlio Turolla Ribeiro's answer is far better. I guess that young people have lost the ability to think outside the computer. Some of us still remember school classes, and business presentations in which presenters pointed at the board

Just what are these resources that we are using more efficiently? CPU? RAM? Are they that important? Should we not be trying to use electricity more efficiently since that is a real world consumable resource. How many connections can you ha

There really is an opportunity here for someone to collect some real data on this and help us learn just how far you can push it and for how long. There are so many startups in SV that someone who lives there could interview people at these

I agree that developers should not try to work more than 40 hours per week on a regular basis. But when I was younger, I went for years working around 16 hours per day, 7 days per week and everybody thought that I was a rockstar genius. But

Kudos for writing about this. So many people in the startup world like to brag about how they do things without a whole lot of evidence to back them up. Usually it is about some cool tech that they use, but as you point out, the long hours

Where on earth do you get the idea that people are scared to buy online? Are you channeling 1999 again? I still remember the first time I bought something online back in 1995 from a small book publisher that specialized in books about UNIX
