I am curious which small town (at least the province) are you from. Currently in the US, but contemplating moving to Munich to be close to family in Trento. Would never live in a small town in the Alps again. :) Would love to return to Ital

Personally, I view free lunch as a signal that your are expected to work thru lunch with long hours. Surely there had to be other differences. Commute?

I wish that were the case for all of Europe. I am willing to take the pay cut, but there are no real opportunities in southern Europe and if there are, the pay cut tends to be around 75%.

Italy has a problem attracting talent, capital, and companies even in the "better" and more developed areas. How can Naples fare? The article mentions student academies, which is the only way it can manage since salaries would be

If it makes you feel any better, I am a native US citizen (dual national actually) and I rarely travel in the US. Too expensive compared to most other countries. Hotels are expensive and a rental car is a must. I rarely rent a car in other

I agree. Disney owns Movies Anywhere and even that little bit of information would be insightful in the context of the article.

In the meantime, services like Venmo are becoming mobile only since the majority of users only use the mobile app (so they say). Many new startup ideas are mobile-first since that is where their user base is.

The site appears to be just another recruiter using layoffs to gather more product to sell to companies. Are they helping anyone laid off or just the techies? If it is only the latter, then they are definitely recruiters.

One possibility is that the GPS tracker does not have a UI to unlock a SIM card, so the SIM card was set without a pin.

Australians, an ex-English colony who stills technically is under the English monarchy, also calls it soccer. No one is confused. That said, American football is a misnomer and incredibly boring sport. In most languages, it is not called fo

I do not mind whiteboarding at all. I have three whiteboards at home for brainstorming. I draw the line at doing take home tests. I cannot interview a company if I am doing a take home assignment. With whiteboarding, I get to also assess my

I get catfished often. Company X offers me a role where I have responsibilities Y and benefits Z. Promotions after a set number of time. Times go by, still not doing Y, but intern level work. Benefits Z never appear. And that promotion? Sor

Good timing showing this on Record Store Day "a badly warped record is most of the time (if not all) also audibly warped." I find that there are other variables involved. I have warped records that are standard 33rpm, which play f

One big issue that a take home assignment is that it removes the ability for the candidate to ask questions. Interviews are two-way streets. Nowadays, I reject more companies than I interview for based on an initial phone conversation. I ha

Flaky potential clients. They reach out to me, say they are interested when I provide them with a statement of work, and then go silent. 90% of people who contact me behave in this way.

I never said there was a stigma. Conversations are just more vapid on mobile. No effort is put in, while people take their time when not on mobile. If I am looking to build a friendship, mobile is not the place I would look. Hookup? Tinder&

Is there any reason why this is a mobile only app? I have a strong preferences not to use apps that are mobile only. And I firmly believe that communicating on mobile has a hard time turning into something more substantial. People nowadays

One of the worst managers I've had was actually well read. We read many of the same books and he also read many listed so far in this Ask HN. I often wondered how did he end up so bad if we read the same books?

It's even more narrow than that. I have not created an account, but I am assuming the companies are going to be extremely Bay Area specific. In fact, the form states: "Where do you currently reside? (Some companies help with reloc

Even if Croatia did not exist at the time of Tesla's birth, it does not change the fact that he was not born in Serbia.
