Depends on the project. For banks it's less likely that you'll be able to do something remote, but for telcos it's less of a problem as they rely less on security by obscurity and both use and give back to Open Source project

Yes, I pay a 50% tax here. Additionally one has to consider that you might have some down time between two projects where you don't have any income. But still I'd encourage anyone interested to try. You'll not just improve yo

I'm doing exactly that, I'm self employed and take care of everything myself or at least I have someone taking care of it in my place. Of course I charge much more than a normal employee would, I make around 20k Euros per month. (

The other side of the coin is that a manager of a company that allows an ex-convict to work in sensible areas can and will be held accountable if something goes wrong. If you were a person that has put 20+ years of hard work into your caree

I think this is one aspect. The other one that was cause for the demise was the lack of sound economics, as strange as it sounds. At least from my and my families perspective everything was great as long as the economy was doing fine. Why s

Listen, we may disagree but for a fruitful discussion I'd expect more than just a reply stating "NO". About the other statement you made: I cannot tell if the Chinese intend to demographically wipe them out, there's no o

I like your thought but Yugoslavia is (I think) a bad example for this. (I came from there) There was no religious or ethnical union, of that I am 100% sure, and I'm also not convinced of nationalism there. The unifying ideology was so

I agree with you except for this line: > Justifying a tyrannical government by virtue of the previous government having been a tyranny too doesn't persuade anyone. I do not care in the slightest about the Chinese government, so I&#x

Sure, I don't doubt that these people really want to secede, but undoubtably some rather large component of this is created by external support. Throughout history nationalism, religion and ethnicity has always been used to destabilise

By the time Rome was sacked, the center of the Roman empire was for several hundred years already in the east. To be more precise in Nova Roma or Constantinople (modern day Istanbul) and this since the 11th May 330. It remained the center o

I didn't say that you will want the same freedom or culture that we have. I just comment on the fact that there is obviously a conflict between the well educated masses in Iran and the strict religious laws. Can't just imagine you

by DominikR 11y ago
Yes I agree, the Iranians are on a different level regarding education, academia and culture. They will eventually transform into a relatively free society if we don't interfere.

Stop funding "moderate" rebels. I read a few years ago that the US has trained 10.000 rebels in Jordan and sent them into Syria. Who exactly are these rebels and who are they fighting for right now? Does anybody even know?
