The thing is, you have laws and tax laws and, for how unjust they might seem, a State has to enforce them, full stop. However, users data. I don't know, there is a thin line between enforcing the law and not respecting citizens freedom

There are many problems that can eat your assets and are not in the B/S. I don't thing that creative accounting is very likely, especially in well established Corporations. One scarier issue might be law suits. But you can keep an

Thing is, stocks are very scary, you can't just look at a balance sheet and make predictions because share price depends on market momentum. But you can look at a balance sheet and see how likely is that you will get your bonds money b

Definitely nothing, but I have always been curious about how long DNA can rest preserved.

So, when I see this things I always wonder: can they extract DNA from it?

I thought I would read some ideas to plan your way out, but I get this. What to say? The fact that you hated/hate your job is a very bad signal for new potential employers and, in general, people around you. If you do change or want to

I strongly believe that automation (DevOps but also software life cycle automation) has huge potential in the enterprise world. Can you be more specific on what you mean by automation?

Yes, paying earlier usually gives you much better returns. Even in the manufacturing industry, you can almost always get at least a 2-3% discount paying early. Do that on many payments and you get a way better return than 2.5% yearly. Of co

WiseCash helps you getting a better idea of what you can do with your extra money. How? And at what interest rates? I find this to be a very, very, annoying thing to do. You end up piling money in your bank account that just stays there.

Nice. But the biggest problem of spreadsheets is sharing and organizing data between multiple users, think github for spreadsheets. These visualizations are very good, but they are not a "hair on fire" kind of problem for most of

Why are you using Excel and not .txt or .csv directly?

True that. Part of the walk of life is learning dealing with ourselves.

I am going to go stoic on this and say that if you are successful despite ADHD, then that's you and you just need to accept it. What troubles me the most is the future. What if this way of being comes up one day? What if people realize

All right, so I faced the storage problem during last year. I moved 2 times and I will move a third in March. I am single, live in Europe, I change countries a lot. I would use this service if it were more flexible. For instance, I have a 2

This says a lot about Europe actually. 4000 Euro should, if taxed decently, be a nice salary (2600 Euro net at 35% taxes). However, in many countries that salary brings your income tax way up (usually between 40 and 50 %). Plus, you are obl

Say you have a financial controller (which looks at both accounting and financial performance) in front of you, what kind of questions would you like to ask? What kind of training would you like to get?

People that have a great job and have done great projects will ask you for more and can easily leave you if they get bored. I think a great recruiter is someone that gives a chance to people that show other signs of "success" besi

So, I put the money, they tell me that: 1. I am gambling 2. They decide when to cash in. Usually it takes up to 10 years... 3. I would be a "bother" for the founders (true, but no nicer way of saying this?) To me, and I am happy t

Very interesting. I wonder if this project will then make it easier for students to get a job or freelance gig.

Yeah, it is very sad this and also my and your comment got no feedback at all. My opinion is skewed, because I work in controlling, but most of these guys are sometimes so focused on "growth" and other myths that they forget to bu

That is very low. In Munich most people are in the 30-50%. I was in the 17%, but that's just because most of my rent is paid out by the company I work for. Otherwise it would be around 30%.

As we are on the topic, which percentage of your salary going to pay up rent would you consider "sane"? Edit: I mean post tax. It's a cultural thing, in Italy we don't ever consider the gross salaries.

Thanks for sharing your experiences guys. Finding work for you all is probably easier than for me. Going back, I would have taken a different path, but as of now, even if I do know some web development and python/R for statics/dat

During the past 6-7 years I lived in: Spain (10 months), China (4 months), Italy (1 year), Denmark (1.5 years), Germany (2 years) and now I am in Belgium. Lately I was considering settling down a bit. However, I am pretty sure if somebody c

Yes, I get this point. I am just saying that there are other ways to look at this and that there still are plenty of costs in making music that generate plenty of profits. Finally, we should be happy when marginal costs are 0, it means free

For me the marginal cost is the additional song, not the additional copy of a song. Then again, if one looks at the obvious, that musician have to make money from concerts, it becomes clear that marginal costs will never be 0 in the music i

by kfk 13y ago
1. Marginal costs are not 0. The musician has a cost, his time has a cost. So, let's not fall in the trap of seeing only certain costs. Of course, a cook that does music in his free time might have a marginal cost of 0, but not everybo

I agree that you guys are brave. I have been thinking of making an important step for a while now, basically moving into software development/startups from a finance/accounting job, and I just can't wrap my head around such a
