I'm not yet buying tight talent supply. Does your company offer 90-100% remote work (from Germany/EU/similar timezone)? If it doesn't the market isn't really tight. Software can easily be done from anywhere you want

Comparing RedisGraph (an in-memory db) to Neo4j, which does not need to hold the entire graph in-memory, is not really fair though.

It's happening all over Germany. They are getting the apartments paid by the state, so high rents are being paid for them. 1-2 million is a huge number of people if you're lacking living space. Where to put them?

German rents go up in most places. There was an influx of 1-2 million migrants and refugees, all of which need living space. Additionaly, it's very expensive to build living space because of very high special requirements for insulatio

I tend not to agree with most of your points, but it may be a matter of taste. I actually like Java (but I also see quite some overengineering in some places). > all the magic with annotations ... which are basically just decorators >

Sorry, but you completely misunderstand the situation. This is not about moving profit to the US and the US is not the tax haven I'm talking about. Get your USA out of your head and just accept that they don't pay the taxes they a

All taxes are paid by the consumer of the products, always. This is trying to fix the gap in taxes companies have to pay. Why does Amazon pay less taxes than a 3-person book shop? Do you deem that appropriate?

Yeah except Apple does not pay the 12.5% Ireland rate but 0.005% because of a system of tax evasion. How could anyone deny that this system must be changed? https://www.cnbc.com/2016/08/30/how-apples-irish-sub

The EC ruled the tax deal illegal and forced Ireland to collect $13bn which Ireland denied to do. The EC thus put Ireland to the ECJ and started implementing alternative tax rules, with the 3% revenue tax being the result. Paying 0.005% tax

Ireland agreed to a special Apple tax treatment so that Apple pays practically no taxes. Special deals for single companies are illegal under EU law. You want access to the EU market? Play by the rules. The tax law is also not applicable on

No it's not. Amazon pays less taxes on books sold than any bricks-and-mortar store in countries like Germany. They abuse the broken tax system and force smaller players that can't afford those structures (or get an illegal special

It's not a double standard. If you make a claim, you have to provide proof for it. As it now stands, the Energiewende is going to cost one to two trillion dollar in subsidy [1] And that is with a 80m population, so in USA terms the equ

Currently these giants have to pay less than bricks-and-mortar retailers[1], which is why the system is unfair. Amazon pays less taxes on a book sold than a small 1-person shop across the street. Until very recently, they didn't pay ta
