Tbh I think it's weird when remote employees demand hq market rates. Where it the incentive for the company? You can hire talent from anywhere? Many of the best people are not willing to work from home, it's not for everyone, so I

Which SF tech company pays SF market rates for say someone living in Poland or Ukraine ? Haven't heard of that.

I think that's not true. My 800sqft apartment in Berlin in a "hip area" is 1k EUR all in, London or SF would probably be 2.5x that. Essentially to live in SF my salary would need to atleast double to have the same standard of

Working for a Berlin tech company that is looking for backend engineers. If you have deep experience with Golang or PHP and willing to relocate, let me know ;)

In some asian markets messengers are exactly the nightmare you describe and it seems to work brilliantly for them, users essentially spend all their time inside those messenger and even buy a lot of the stuff they need from there. If it&#x2

i like that idea, but I also need a laptop and investing in both seems overkill for my needs. But i guess with a current 6C Macbook and 32GB + eGPU, i could kind of do the same thing.

Comparing the keyboard with a $200 walmart netbook is a joke. It might not be everybody's taste, but it's far from terrible. I actually like it and at my company where 95% of engineers have one, there is not more complains than us

The new CPUs are a couple of generations ahead and considerably faster and at the same time more efficient. Just looking at the clock speed does not make sense.

I am torn on this, devs are currently in a very fortunate position (if you live in a tech hotspot) to be able to just ignore these requests or be impolite by sending a link like this. However I believe you should still be grateful to be in

tbh i always thought that it's ahead of MacOS for a long time, since Gaming on OSX was always rather terrible.

Well, completely different game in Europe, even if you live frugally. Not even close. Some of you Bay Area guys are really condescending

cardiac arrest, it's pretty rare but still scary. Over 400k Americans die from it every year.

If it should be on HN is entirely dependant on users who vote, so i guess it's interesting to people.

It's not necessary and as a native german it is something i can totally live with if foreigners get it wrong in conversations. Even people with years of being fluent in germany still ocassionally screw them up. In a similar way i alway

true, the first generation of successful iphone and android games that made their authors rich were extremely simple remakes of classic games.

I remember that in the late 90ies/early 2000 that swedes or scandinavians always had these super low ping internet connections. Combine that with a long winter and you have a lot of tech experienced youngsters that spend a lot of time

Doing a startup is usually a financial mistake, that's why it's risky. I founded a startup in Germany and got a similar amount of seed funding of 150k for 2 founders and spread that money over a team of 5 living on a minimum salar

Well, I am a german and i'd argue we'd need to do it the SV way to have the same kind of global success stories. Sure your small german startup can be GDPR compliant and find it's niche, but making products of massive global

it's not only about the money young fella. A long and uncertain project without any income like that is a tough sell for any relationship.

This has been true for me until the last generation (Touchbar) Macbooks came out in 2016. They seem to be vastly more expensive than the older generation was and are usually quite a bit more than a comparable non-Apple Laptop. A well equipp

i wonder if they took real voice samples from people using voice search for that video or if they have been recorded just for this because the audio quality seems to vary quite a bit.

i doubt that MS is an improvement over Google when it comes to privacy concerns.

maybe https://posteo.de/en (Berlin based) would make sense for you or your family accounts ? It's just 1 EUR/mo for basic accounts and they focus on privacy, security and being sustainable.

By last year my 6Plus got really slow and sluggish with the release of iOS11 to the point it was barely usable for me. Switching between apps took ages and somestimes i waited seconds for the Keyboard top pop up. Hopefully iOS12 will be bet

No decisions on work-specific matters should be taken on non-mandatory social events were some team members can't/don't want to attend. If you do it, fill the missing people in the next day, the same way someone was missing f

I think it's quite wrong that this guy got basically penalized for just doing what he's paid for and getting along well with people. It's fine when teams get along so well that some people even spend their time with colleague
