Any particular one to recommend?

You are out of luck then, there is no legal framework for employment cross-border anywhere. Maybe in Dubai with their remote work visa giving you 0% taxes but that would require a relocation there.

You are looking at US->US relationship, making the same error as folks elsewhere with NL->NL relationship etc. The question is US->NL relationship etc. You are applying labor laws of one country into an international relationship.

In big cities with the ongoing inflation and Euro collapse I am not sure you aren't actually joking...

Heh, you probably haven't read horror stories from TeamBlind where Google Warsaw was paying like $25k/year... My guess is that the op wants to stay in Poland but work for at least $60k instead of moving to Germany/UK where 60

I really think you are mixing completely unrelated things together. Just a thought experiment: there is a company that has no office/contact in the EU. Is a NL-based freelancer prohibited from working for them? In other words, is the f

We are talking about companies operating outside EU. You are still set on companies operating in the same country. So a dev takes a risk, switches to a freelance mode, finds a client abroad, the client pays much better but at the cost of te

AFAIK it doesn't apply to outside-Germany clients. The freelancer is viewed as exporter and contributes to German export economy. Mind you, a freelancer has no social safety net, no pension, exorbitantly expensive health care (900+ EUR

Some companies have different offices in different countries, and one can issue invoices to the one in the US for 6 months and the one in Dubai for another 6 months if that were a problem. I've never heard of anyone in the EU having &q

That's within a single country. There is a qualitative difference between cross-border business relationships and intra-country ones.

That's life I guess. If TopTal adding 70% on top of your rate still gives you 2x EU salary, is that so bad? When an E7 at Facebook London earns 250k and E7 in Menlo Park earns 860k, there is quite a margin to exploit...

That would be if the company were in Germany. But not outside Germany, there the freelancer is classified as "exporter" (both for US and EU clients).

It's not illegal. An EU person needs a legal entity in the EU (it can be either freelancer or a company) and then it's just usual B2B relationship where EU person pays their taxes, insurances etc. in the EU. US company still saves

It's super easy actually. All one needs is to be a freelancer in the EU and use W-8BEN form in the US. No additional taxes, just EU ones.

Only 48GB of RAM, no NVLink - sounds like a partial downgrade from A6000. Not very enticing to be honest.

That sounds like what we heard about Scala 10 years ago until complexity started to bite, and now that language is in a free fall and its parent company in financial distress...

2x3090 with NVLink isn't appearing as a single GPU even on Linux.

Imagine spending 10%+ of your yearly income after taxation on this card...

My guess is more like $9,000 given Nvidia is in grab-all-the-moneys-you-can mode now after crypto died.

Nvidia basically created the whole AI-on-GPU market, so it's not like there was any other option for like 10 years... OpenCL came as a hindered afterthought that is still strictly inferior to CUDA.
683.
by bitL 4y ago
Me as well, but with 48GB of RAM what is the point? They should sell at least 96GB one. There is no pressure/enticement to upgrade from A6000 to be honest.

10x0 are old, they are starting to break down due to wear already.

Nvidia's manufacturing is in Taiwan. US has traditionally much lower prices on electronics than the EU, now with this change EU is completely priced out. SWengs don't earn 800k there, but typically plateau at around 100k at late s

I am in their "Porsche buyer" category as I bought 1x RTX A6000, 1x Titan RTX and 4x RTX 3090 for Deep Learning, but I am staying away from 4090 until they get some sense with pricing. From my point of view, 2x NVLinked 3090s give

by bitL 4y ago
Sure, but the salaries in the EU didn't go up 20% in the same time so Nvidia is clearly not targeting the same segment of the population anymore, but a 20% richer segment now. Companies adjust pricing to different markets all the time,

It used to be the same price in EUR as in USD, i.e. 3090 was $1499 and 1499EUR. So they decided to forfeit the market I guess.
689.
by bitL 4y ago
Yeah, a 4090 is still cheaper than a full-spec iPhone 14 Pro Max ;-)

Europe: 4090 - 1949EUR 4080 16GB - 1469EUR 4080 12GB - 1099EUR LOL I think NVidia decided to write off European market completely.
