In Switzerland, the worst event was not this one but 9/11 in 2001. In a matter of a few hours all new IT/IS project were cancelled and budgets for IT/IS were frozen to below the minimum in all companies. It took almost a year

Each situation is different and depends on an infinity of parameters (for exemple do not forget that a married couple pays more taxes than two individuals). Income city+state+federal (30%), VAT (7,6%), AHV (11%) + all the rest I have lost c

Sorry, I was not clear. The danger does not come from the tram but from the tracks. It is not unusual to see people falling (when they cross the tracks at a too low angle) especially when wet and/or icy/snowy and/or thin tire

Because of FATCA, if you are a US person, do not underestimate the consequences (costs, admin complexity) of the IRS regulation following you abroad.

Switzerland is a complex system: instead of 1 high rate tax, you pay many low taxes. So cheating is not worth it individually (too risky/complex for a small saving). But the sum is crazy. Exemple of taxes/mandatory ccharges a deve

Seth's move impacted Chef's customers. Google Cloud may have contracts with ICE. So Seth may want to do something against Google and therefore impact us indirectly.

Seth Vargo works now at Google Cloud. Will he break it next? Is Google Cloud a risk for our company?

I love this laptop (I own one). But the screen quality and its size (16/9) are not very optimal for work productivity.

Do you remember Craig Federighi imitating a chicken and a unicorn in 2017? I felt so stupid watching this event. The parody resumed everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4Xl4hPEV80

Totally agree. But also on workstations. It would simplify so many maintenance tasks (updates, new installation, synchronisation, reinstall, etc.). I cannot even grasp the potential.

Yes, unfortunately. My 130USD cherry keyboard ended as an expensive toy for my toddler (he was using it without being connected). :( The issue is not only the switch but the resonance with the keyboard (even with plastic rings). (Gaming wit

The most critical useless feature (as it is now) is actually the Windows Store. What is Microsoft doing wrong that makes nobody use it? It could be a revolution (selling + updates).

Yeah, and these UN guys are on the top of the unecessary overpaid people. I live where they all live in Geneva. Their kids go in the top private schools, they fly business, their wifes drive luxury suvs, they do not pay taxes... But most of

A few weeks before that event, he was on Swiss TV (he lives in Geneva) saying that he never felt pressure and did not care... Sad...

Also, +20 years ago, in the big Swiss banks, you could go up in the (top) management almost only if you were an officer in the army. Times have changed. hehe

Today, most of the people do not accept to be "offended" by hearing/reading a different opinion. It is so sad... A healthy Socratic debate between people of opposite views is today almost impossible.

It was a matter of nationality (family bounds, schools you attended, school/univeristy friends, friends, etc), not race. A Swiss being black could have been hired. Switzerland is a small village, so if you break the law, everybody will

I remember when I was young (+40 years ago), many Swiss private banks would only hire Swiss people. That rule was due to the French IRS equivalent having their own employees sent to Switzerland and hired by Swiss bank. They were mole transm

I may be biased... I have worked for a company "employee oriented" which also had an big association to help needing people. So now I only trust the numbers and not the PR on their website.

Yes, and the clothing industry is well known to be employee friendly and to generously share revenue with the whole supply chain. The day they publish their margin and cost breakdown, I may listen to their PR BS.
