As someone who is prone to seasonal unproductivity, I wish to travel somewhere warm and sunny during winter months. What's the weather like during winter months (I'm on the east coast of North America)? Also, what's the living cost in addition to uitilities such as internet? Thanks.

I've been in Chiang Mai for about 3 months now; it's rained literally once. "Winter" lasted for maybe 10 days, which meant evening temps in the high 50s I'd guess.

The only real gotcha is now, when the "burning season" begins. Farmers across the north of India and SE Asia start torching previous season's fields, which leads to poor air quality. Up until February you're basically good, it's after that that you start seeing people (myself included) donning the wearable breathing masks.

Here's how things are now, just look at all that fresh air[1], you'd think the earth was a tail pipe.

Wow, I didn't know it was that bad! Thanks for the tips.

Thailands winter is Dec/Jan/Feb which is basically the high season for tourism (it's hot but not stupidly hot). So it's more expensive than other times of the year but still cheap by rest of the world standards.

This channel has some pretty decent vids on the subject

Bear in mind though that Chiang Mai is more of a rural town than major city, you might find yourself preferring Bangkok.

Awesome, thank you!

I liked your website and was going to sign up. However, your catalog of screen casts is too short to sign up for at the moment. On the other hand, does anyone know other python screen cast websites like this with more topics/videos?

I am creating new content every week. I am also going to be creating content at a rate faster than one per week, to combat this exact complaint.

So see ya in 4 months?

I'm in!

Huh?

The parent poster is trying to highlight the 0.01% of PirateBay that is legitimate, so that the other 99.9% of "sharing" can be somehow legitimized by association.

Alternatively, they are trying to make a snarky suggestion that this isn't HN material.

I don't think politicians would ever allow this, especially during these times, since the proposed change would cost millions in change of signs and anything where the imperial system is used.

You would save that pretty easily in not having to write separate software/everything for the US and for the rest of the world. Not to mention things like http://articles.cnn.com/1999-09-30/tech/9909_30_mars.metric....

or just :x

I have an unlocked Galaxy Nexus and I don't see any system updates in settings. Do you have any sources for this?

Just follow this - http://www.androidcentral.com/gsm-galaxy-nexus-android-42-up.... AC tools link has adb for Win/Mac/Linux and that is all you will need in addition to the update zip.

See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170

The OTA was released this morning (I've flashed my unlocked Galaxy Nexus to 4.2).

I was also charged but didn't get any email from Google :(

Edit: Now there's transaction on my Wallet page :) It reads "Nov 13 Google Inc. received your order."

Has anyone done any latency test between USA and Hetzner's data center (Germany) and can share their numbers?

This happens everywhere and all the time. As the community gets more popular and attention, more and more people will sign up and pollute everything. From what I've seen, most of the time, redditors are blamed for that here on HN :P
