I can only comment anecdotally, but my one experience with a German court was weird to say the least: I bought a house from a community of heirs and shortly said, they have falsely disclosed that they were legally prepared to sell the house

I have the same problem like the others say in Germany. I have a Bundesliga season ticket for which I pay 360 euros and I see all home matches in person. Away matches are a completely different story. Half of them are shown by Sky, the othe

Oh man, I hear this on every such topic. It is in no way virtually impossible to fire someone, you just can't do it willy nilly because you don't like someone's face. You just have to follow well defined procedures (pip is a

This is eerily similar with this recent incident: https://avherald.com/h?article=504d75c7&opt=0 In the Qatar case, they mentioned that the pilot insisted on manually taking off and lost his bearing. The conditions look

Chiming in for Germany where unemployment insurance is mandatory and deducted from the salary each month. I personally pay 82 euros per month for 80% over a 1 year period (I think, I haven't checked in a while)

Hey, thanks for the reply. I got the info with the 30 days from my bank alongside with the options I had, so it may as well be from them - I use a VISA card in Europe. Also thank you for the offer to check my account, but there’s no need fo

It also really needs to be mentioned that Google’s store was (is) absolutely awful for buying gear. I wanted to buy 2 pixels from them. Put the order in, no news for 7 days, at the exact 7 day mark my order gets cancelled. Tried talking to

I’ve seen this exactly in an online shop in Romania. Then they tried refusing my return of a product citing a gross misinterpretation of the law. They caved in after I threatened invoking the great goods of consumer protection. Found out af

Note that Vaultwarden is the unofficial server, there is also an official one, that you can self host. Vaultwarden is much easier to set up and manage, I use it myself, and I heard that the official build is a little bit more tedious to go

We've had our problems, but Fastmail does a pretty good job. Not perfect, sure, but I don't remember having to send an e-mail to spam in the last 2 years. Or not receiving e-mails. Or recipients not receiving my emails. I had my d

Hey, I find Ecosia interesting and was thinking of applying but I’ll really be honest here: a 5 step interview for a below market pay (for what you’re asking of the ideal candidate) is really off putting. I’d personally be up for max one op

This guy just got arrested this morning in Romania for sex trafficking. He's been under investigation for more than a year, so I would say, yeah, sounds legal. This really has no reason to be on the HN page

I wouldn’t generalize it. In our agency, we keep everything very modern, especially the tools and infrastructure, but also processes. We go to workshops and conferences and then implement what we learned. Yes, I’ve seen some creepy stuff li

Yes, see interamt.de for open positions. You have to be fluent, I’m afraid, everything is done in German and you need to understand what’s needed and relay your own thoughts properly. There are many specific terms and processes and abbrevia

It hasn’t but it’s on the right track. I am working as a developer in one of the federal agencies and have direct contact with the efforts. It helps a lot that public agencies can now offer a so called IT Zulage of a few hundred euros to 10

I was contemplating the same thing today as I was knee deep in refactoring a piece of code - I use IntelliJ and ideavim, which I find great because it also implements (emulates?) a small subset of vim plugins. I was able to finish the fair

As others, I would much prefer they would just shovel this money into fixing bugs. I have simple bugs opened FOR YEARS and they only fix them if there's some backlash, like many people commenting and showing discontent.
