I mean, that's still contingent on having a decent salary relative to the amount of debt - I'm assuming it didn't happen with a couple of ~30k/year salaries.

I'm a native Spaniard as well. Do you write emails with opening marks? Perhaps it's a generational thing, but so far I've worked for two multinationals including a bank and I can't think of a single person that bothered

There's a lot of generational change due to the use of computers in writing, in general. For example, in Spanish, when I was a kid it was a given fact that exclamations and questions went between marks (¿? and ¡! respectively). Nowada

As someone who both plays videogames and tries to improve with a piano, think there's a key difference: piano exercises me mentally, I know when I get to a point where my head isn't going to get anything out of more practice for

In my country (Spain) there's an awful ongoing trend of betting houses popping up everywhere, both physical and online (sports bet, online poker, etc). It's awful because the online ads are frequently directed at teenagers, using

I think it would make a difference, in that if the user is somewhat convinced that the site is able to handle that issue then they will be more willing to take a leap of faith. My point being, I'm perfectly capable of finding books I&#

The problem is, there's a line between "things I don't consider because they're out of my comfort zone / I don't even know they exist" and "things I don't consider because I consider them to not

Not really, I don't think anyone's claiming that Google's managers and product owners are the geniuses the world is missing out on. It's the engineering skills that are considered wasted.

Well, that's the complain isn't it? That the technical skills are being wasted on glorified marketing companies. If you hire Frank Lloyd Wright to design your bathroom, you can't use the fact that you end up looking at a toil

This reaction is pretty unusual for me, coming from Europe. Glaring sins is basically how we can tell our historical figures apart in history class (you know the king that was extra ugly due to inbreeding, the one that liked to have a bajil

Honest question, from an economically ignorant perspective: If people hold houses to speculate with the price of real state, that makes the price I pay for the necessity of a place to live way more expensive than it would be otherwise (this

The article is misleading, but the news that the feature has been rolled back is still worth sharing I think. I wouldn't have known otherwise.

It funny that, everywhere in my circle, people are going "damn, we need to find an alternative now". It really says something about a company that people see their name getting close as a sign they should stop using a product.

The post leaves a question unanswered: Are you displeased of not having passions because you think it would be a nice, healthy thing to have? Or is it because you have the impression that people that are passionate about something have an e

I’m curious, in which ways do you feel that money made you happier? As in, what were the important things it has enabled for you that weren't available under, say, an average engineer's salary?

I'm not sure, to be honest. I think GDPR would grant you access to the personal data the service holds of you, but AFAIK they have no obligation to keep the data, so they could have previously removed it (?). There must be a provisio

Good point, I had missed the impact of email as an authentication tool. I think the industry should move towards a decoupling of that from email (or worse, social networks). I think there's been some movement towards using phone numb

I think the fix (from a legal perspective) is very simple. Ban me from your services if you want, but banned accounts should be able to download their information, for a reasonable timeframe. In the case you were using Google products as a
