One more issue when going somewhere: not all places have useful 4G offerings. In France, Germany and Italy for instance I couldn't find a monthly prepaid 4G offer with unlimited data, especially in France you frequently even need a loc

Makes sense, it's the main value of working together (and going to the office back in the day), but make sure to reward this behavior.

Good point, this is probably my experience at a FANG talking, I was like that early in my career, based on my experience at university where it was mutually beneficial to support others. All things equal I didn't get promoted any faste

Would be nice to see a benchmark on large scale deployment overall and individual cost, reliability, etc. I also think that fast(er) internet without relying on governments could be interesting for many people in presumably developed countr

It can be frustrating, but it's also frustrating if people ask without thinking what this might mean for your own routine. At the end of the day you won't get promoted for not getting your own work done while helping others and pe

Regulation could go a long way, e.g. tax incentives for open source development or using open standard/platforms. Imagine giving developers or companies lower tax rates on profits from open source products, e.g. for resulting donation

Sounds like good old corporate to me, the boss says you won’t get your bonus unless there are x app installs, the product manager replies “hold my beer and watch this”. This is a serious issue for users though and should highlight the risks

Any recommendations on home networking? I couldn't figure out what the established approach would be to having access to the infrastructure over a consumer internet connection and without exposing the rest of the network. All resources

Compare that to Germany. There’s a company (datev) that has a monopoly on SMB accounting and will only work with tax advisors. Complete waste of labor and money, all because taxation rules are so complicated.

Same in Germany, unless you hire full time lawyers and accountants you’ll end up burning a lot of money on these services, mistakes they make and all sorts of authorities.

I like the way Singapore keeps it simple by having tax exemptions and lower rates for the first $ X of income (and overall lower tax than most places in Europe), this is easy to work with and allows you to reinvest in ways you see fit rathe

Well yes, but a bit more like the villain in a low-budget Austrian 007 parody.

My reading is that it’s the same model: “Their order for additional 737-8s“ The upgrades are necessary in any case to be certified.

The really interesting part is them mixing both names in the statement, as if it were separate models.

This is quite surprising, the first reason stated is GDP, which I don’t see as a perfect indicator for a good startup environment. The second reason is low taxes, which especially for Berlin also isn’t true, there are different types of cor

We've tried this for a while (companies using customers data) and I see a strong case for governments to start protecting users more strongly, because the current way this is being treated isn't working (medical data needs to be h

I’m not sure if all cases need to be handled this way, with the Prima Server the main transaction seems to be the right to access the movies. With a device that needs to be used in every day life (proof: smart phone penetration in many coun

Mostly, but I think you could have an org chart and let individuals and teams override it if they find good ways to reuse assets. I just don't think most companies run this way, maybe it's the military way of thinking of strict hi

Sounds like a problem that should be easy to find on an org chart. If you don’t reward good ideas (they don’t even need to be particularly good or novel, just common sense), you’ll have a company trying to grow something that’s reached its

Being able to control the geo is one of the great features of DDG for me, especially back when I traveled a lot. The search engine doesn’t know the context I’m in (and I’m happy about that, I don’t think it should be guessing something this

Assuming HN readers are creating a bunch of products people use every day: I think at some point Chrome became significantly better than Firefox and did a better job listening to users, so power-users (developers) started switching, once th

I think it would be useful to be able to explicitly search around knowledge graph entities or site topics, e.g. a programming language, a city, a season, without having that single/specific term. So a search including all sites related

If it’s given as a warning then yes, e.g. the dplyr package in R sometimes outputs “feature xyz is deprecated and will be removed in version x.x”. Often though it’s used when the feature is already removed, i.e., it’s not only best practice

What’s important from a user perspective is that it’s not possible to verify these safety measures, while potentially exposing some of the most private pieces of information. I agree that usually it should be safe and anyone messing with lo

It was a new device (already public though) at that time and it wasn’t mandated, I got it for free though. I did want to test it and see how it works and if it’s useful for me, I just don’t completely trust them and don’t think people shoul

Thanks for sharing, from a first glance I like how mycroft sells hardware to match the open source software, Will give it a try.

And that is what I consider functioning as intended. While I don’t think they target me specifically, I can’t be really sure either and like many other companies the people there behave quite contrary to what is advertised. This is just too

Would be a fun open source project to find the cheapest board that can fit in the box, ideally take some components (speakers, WiFi) and have similar functionality like controlling music, home devices, setting timers. I’d try to contribute
