I've had the 'pleasure' of taking some 'Microsoft certifications' at various companies I worked at in the past and this sounds extremely familiar. "I probably won't ever do it like that and/or there&

I'm not OP but maybe I can chime in. My employer runs a fairly large application platform on Azure and I've used Azure for personal projects a few times. Let me start off that you can host (ASP).NET Core projects just about anywhe

While traded on the Amsterdam stock exchange, the domicile of the fund is still Ireland.[1] Anyway, since you're in Europe, curious why you chose this fund (S&P 500) over something with more exposure outside the US? [1]: https:&#x

I think you misunderstood the parent. All three examples are ETFs with Canadian assets, available on the Canadian stock exchange. OP's point is (most likely) that you can't buy them directly from Vanguard (i.e. using an account on

Not too long ago the long term rolling returns for the S&P 500 where still somewhere around this number. This article [1] is from 2012, not much has changed in the last four years. "The average 30-year rolling total return for the

Same here. Just wondering, are you using the Ireland based Vanguard ETFs (i.e. VWRL, VEUR, etc.) or the US-based ones (VTI, VGT, etc.)?

Just want to chime in to say that using a broker to buy index funds should be possible in France as well. I'm in The Netherlands and use DeGiro[1] which is available in France as well, so that might be an option. My investment portfoli

Not saying I disagree that the comparison is a bit odd, I just want to add that I did find OP's information / the discussion around the costs of infrastructure projects in the US [1] interesting to say the least. Looking at thos

1. Comparing the range of an actual 'currently being produced' vehicle to the stated range of a vehicle that's not yet in production is disingenuous in my book. Expect the leaf (v2?) to have at least 25% more range by the tim

I just checked because I couldn't believe that price. "Price per 1000 units. Unit volumes are based on monthly usage." It's $2.50 per 1000 units, so 0.25 cents per unit. Edit: And, according to the pricing page [1] the f

Oh man, I can't even describe how much this hits home. I've had something like this happen twice now, where the people in the job interview misrepresent the actual reasons for e.g. technical debt or in general are just not honest

I think a good started book is "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" by Ramit Sethi [0]. It contains all the basics you need and you can expand from there. The One Page Financial Plan [1] as kokonotu points out is also a good one. Further

Not sub-25k but the Kia Soul EV looks to be around 29.000€ and is a way better car imho than the i3 and e-golf. The 4k subsidy brings it just under the 25k mark. Disclaimer: I've test-driven all three and now 'own' a 2016 Kia

A bit of a sidenote but I completely disagree with your dismissal of purely electric cars. I drive a 2016 Kia Soul EV and the car is just plain awesome. It drives way better than any ICE car I've driven and is just a complete joy to dr

The difference in high school IMHO is that I give it a big chance that everybody was a native English speaker there. I agree with you that understanding the (full) problem is part of the challenge in some cases, but since the headline here

From your profile it looks like you're in The Netherlands. 41k/year is acceptable but not considered competitive in my book. Edit: Note that this 41k/year pretax salary in The Netherlands does not include the contributions yo

I'm not entirely sure if this is different in the US, however where I live (The Netherlands) the owners make up the HOA in the end. So if a majority of the owners doesn't want a specific rule or board member it's easy (and po

I'm going to agree with sergiosgc here. Even though I work a relaxed 36 hour work week and rarely do anything work-related outside office hours I still encountered many of the issues related to burnout. I've wondered why for quite

I agree with what you're saying but as someone who has had this issue recently but also already works a relaxed 36 hours a week I think the article was pretty much spot-on.

I like how you made the comment say 'defaults to 4' while the code says 5, this pretty much sums up my experience with 'documentation comments' as well.

The trick here is that Dropbox has introduced this feature pretty late and only if you run the installer now (on a new machine perhaps) you'll notice the feature is there because the installer will ask you if you want to sync everything or
