I guess entering won't be an issue since you have an exit ticket. I had bad experience exiting the US in LAX and JFK: Getting there takes a lot of time, and clearing security needs a lot of time, and the airports are quite big. Try to

I guess that Train technology is old enough that regulations about drivers, signals, and safety surely assume that there is a phisical person in charge of driving. Maybe the first step towards automation is beign able to drive the train rem

Take a look at the Contract-IT-Job-Market on IT JobsWatch uk ( https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/Contract-IT-Job-Market ). It's a bit biased to the banking sector; but it gives you a general idea of the skills demand (and r

1 - Do not run very large jobs on AWS spot instances only (specifically GPU instances) 2 - If you have to run something large, make sure it can be paused and resumed later. 3 - Run that job on the cheapest Spot/OnDemand instance you ne

I was in Cluj last year and was surprised to see an ad in the street saying "Are you a coder? Living in Floresti (a neigbothood)? Come send us a resume!". Salaries are low compared to the rest of Europe (and the US). But it sounds

It is (yet) profitable. First, choose an exchange that is stable , does not go down when there is a quick market movement. When that happens only stop-loss orders get executed _automatically_. Second, now the exchange fee structure. Some

Hotdesk seem a good idea until you have people that has to take kids to school, or you have someone that has a meeting with a customer at 9am and has to come later to the office to discover (s)he cannot sit anywhere. Don't fall in the

I believe IoT will have a comeback soon coupled with blockchain technologies... ... or in layman terms, small devices that use P2P networks with cryptography to send notifications nobody can erase. Great for billing.

For curiosity, I just run a Dubai vs Berlin cost-of-living comparison in Numbeo and I think housing is the factor that makes Berlin cheaper than Dubai (about 50% less). In my opinion, Berlin is a much better place (even with that weather) t

I was very lucky with the Logitech M555B (bluetooth) mouse. I always used rechargables, which meant I had to replace batteries every 2-3 weeks; but it was a great mouse for me. I didn't wanted wireless mice that needed their own USB

You don't make money building good or bad software. You make money with mainteinance contracts. That's what my CS 101 professor told us our fist day at the university. Heresy! you might think. But it is true. Making software is a

I tried it writing a trivial python script that called a webservice every 5 minutes and stored the .json response in S3. Advantages: - Cheaper than having your own micro.t1 server and setting crontab. - I have information about how much t

If I remember well just preparing a flight plan used to be a lengthy, tedious, task. Looks a good field to me. And making $PEOPLE/$COMPANY life easier is a sustainable way to earn the bacon.
