That's an exaggeration. Most salaries are places in the 50-60k range and if you are a senior you'll get a salary from 60-70k. As a new grad/junior, you'll be getting around 40-45k. 45k/year is enough for a single pe

Those numbers feel really off. 13k/year rent means ~1100 € monthly rent. That's the average rent for a nice apartment in a nice area. If you're making 36k € yearly salary then it might make more sense to live in a shared roo

Actually, I think the camera & battery life are currently the most important features on a smartphone. I take all my pictures with my S8, casual or vacation and I'm thrilled if the next models are coming with a even better camera.

Still, quoting far right websites with click-baity article titles kinda shatters your credibility...

Never trust a article that starts with "10 reasons why..." Specially when it's posted on a website that praises Steve Bannon and one of the 4 content sections available is "Guns & Patriots"

Looks like the "Regulate Uber everywhere" trend is confirmed. Edit: I did not mean this as a bad thing, but as something that's normal and welcomed.

"powerful", "really slick", "awesome". For a tool aimed at developers, I'd surely enjoy more technical terms.

A company that does not trust the employees and tracks them is a company that runs by all the wrong principles. And most likely one in which you don't really want to work in. Also, is it just me or that "friend that is tracked&quo

No, no chance Firefox could get back to owning 20% or 30% again. Just look around you, how many of the people you know made the switch? Most of the people I know gave the new FF a try, concluded that it's fine and got back to Chrome. R
