This makes me wonder how 'censored'/biased the search results of google are in the rest of the world.
Could be refreshing
Is there really a brain drain from Europe to the US? I wonder...

Every morning I make 1,5L tea, 1 root of cut/chopped turmeric and and a bit of cut/chopped ginger (for the taste), I also add a bit of ground pepper.
Nice!!!
I hadn't heard from him either, they are very nice. You have to read each comic two or three times before you get it. Thanks. Reminds me a bit of the Spanish photograper Chema Madoz http://www.chemamadoz.com/a.html

No, you can't force. But you can put a team close together, they don't have to work more than 8hrs/day. But if they meet on weekends, on trips, bbq's, there wil be shoptalk. That is good for the project. In most cases. I used to work for an 'offshore pipeline desig company' hard work, drinks on friday evening, family BBQ on Saturday. Lots of fun, and everybody was ALWAYS talking about kids, dogs and work.

In most cases the kids will have a ball in a different country

Noooo, then you should hop over to Barcelona/Madrid.

Ok, clear.

It can be a great way to run project in a lovely pressure cooker. Everybody 7days per week involved/committed without the distraction of homely nuisances.

I'm very interested in your camper-van-blogpost

And Mauritius is great!

It sounds and looks very nice. I have two questions:

1) Why did't they move to one of the Canary Islands? Part of Spain, Barcelona is a part of it. Less hassle because you stay in Europe, same language, same culture as in Barcelona. I rent a flat (70m2, furnished, 500m from the palmtree-beach, €500 /month), in the center of the capital on one of the islands, the internet connection is reasonable. Sounds comparable to Thailand.

2) How long did they stay in Thailand, was it a 2 month project-move or a multiple-year company move?

I am wondering about Spain, but I assume the liability aspect is the same in all european countries?
In Spain they don't threaten to arrest you for taking photos of cops, they arrest you immediately without any warning.
I completely agree on Chuck Moore being one of the computing heroes of the last 4 decades or so. As far as I can see it, he (or Forth or GreenArrays) needs proper communication/marketing/lobbying staff that ensures that his ideas are being understood by the politicians, decision makers and investors.

Power consumption and processors has always been an issue, they get to warm and need cooling, server parks consume huge amounts of energy, batteries wear out to quickly etc... Wouldn't it be nice if the surface of a tablet (I am talking about 2015-2020) contained a 10" solar panel, and the processors inside the tablet would need only the energy provided by this solar panel? that would be a nice start.

so sad
