I agree, also the price is to high. $49.9k for a range of 160 miles? 5h+ for full charge? With the super charger it still takes 30 min for 160 miles charge, but then you have to buy the $59.9k option. Of course the cars could hardly be any

It disgusts me tremendously that a known name gets this special treatment, in my eyes it only proves how corrupt Google are becoming. If they would have treated Jef Poskanzer exactly like anyone else, that is ignore his obvious innocence an

I don't know what I expected really, but something more than an empty CSS file, maybe my expectations were totally off or maybe this wasn't very impressing. Although I could see that it would be convenient to generate this for large html pa

Yes I understand the argument put forward in the article, but I was curious about the steps Megaupload took to try to conform with US law. All of this is crazy, and the point in the article is very much valid in my opinion, on the other han

I agree that Unit testing is a power full tool. But tools are just tools, and they can be misused. I see this sometimes at companies where they "make" their developers write unit tests, they are just writing them because they have to and th

After not one but two of my acquaintances have been detained and deported at the airport on trips to the US I can't really see myself ever daring to go there. Both are Muslim, they don't have any terrorist sympathies that I know about, and

What kind of DMCA system did Megaupload provide? And what kind of DMCA system is required by law?

Agreed. That a start up recruitment site isn't generating the numbers the founders dreamed about is more probably an indicator of a poor business model, poor exposure or in this case alienating all prospective users by opting them in (spamm

Most workers don't care about what the employer actually pays, most workers just take into account what is stated on their pay check. Most Swedes, when talking about wage, mention the statement before taxes, so for instance €2000 would equa

I think €800 for 8 days of work is ok good money for truck driving work and not so far from what truck drivers make for instance in Sweden. And I agree with all of your other points.

Sure, we all pay for it somehow, I pay for all of my health care through my taxes, you pay half through your taxes and half out of pocket if i interpret you correctly? But on general I agree, it is difficult to compare incomes between diffe

I used this link http://www.gehalt-tipps.de/Gehaltsvergleich/Gehalt/Lkw-Fahre... provided by thomasz. Then I took the average from all those reported wages which was €2,109.36/month, divided it by 20 (as this is the average work week for

For many European countries health insurance and pension plans are payed for by taxes, as for Germany specifically I don't know, but I know they have very cheap health care.

Using the information posted by thomasz it doesn't seem plausible that the average German truck driver would make 5 times what your brother made. Assuming that your brother followed European laws and didn't drive more than the allowed hours

Firstly, strawman. Secondly, the idea of wasting the "worlds rarest resources" is completely dependent on where you live. I, for example, live in a part of the world with a huge excess of clean water, and there is absolutely no sustainable

I see it like this, if you are using paid vacation days for this, then you are in a way on your current employers payroll, I think it is a bit dishonest to the current employer who pays you to rest/recover from a years worth of work. If you

And with all due respect to you, you seem to not be considering the employee's point of view at all. An employee exchanges his time for money. It is not fair to assume that because an employee doesn't want to exchange ALL of his time for mo

The whole article is very poorly written, typical Tech Crunch garbage. Even if Ibrahim Boakye is everything that he is portrayed to be in the article there is no way he could just get into any bank account he wished, with just the name of a

I agree, I go to hacker news for news and tech related true stories. I don't mind fiction, but I don't like to be "tricked" into reading it.
