Interesting that articles like this are coming from everywhere at the moment, now that BTC$ is tanking. But when Bitcoin price was still going up, they were not all that popular, also not on HN. It seems the moral argument for Bitcoin is po

I would never do a 4h home assignment if I didn't have any clue yet about the salary. And I guess most senior developers think the same. Why risk wasting so much time? I would even suspect that you had good reason not to mention your s

I'm from the Netherlands, living in Switzerland, and public transport prices in both countries are roughly the same. But other prices + salaries in CH are almost double the ones in NL. Also, punctuality, cleanliness and sitting space i

The Swiss rail company, SBB, is owned by the state. In 2021 it made a loss of 325 million CHF, which is about 3.3% of its total turnover. So it's paid mostly through ticket fees and for a small part by the state.

Well it's only anecdotical of course, but I had a similar experience a couple of years ago that made me very confused about dentistry in general. At the time a had a small tooth ache so I was planning to visit a dentist to check it. I

I don't understand why this was downvoted, I have noted the same. Many pro-Putin posts go around, pro-Ukrain posts get loads of hate comments and there are also lots of fake news posts trying to spread doubt about US/Nato intentio

It seems you are arguing for forbidding workers to self organize into unions. Or at least, forbidding it until the timing is right. Following this reasoning, what are your thoughts about democracy? Should it be forbidden as well for workers

Like others already said, this is just another variant of the commonly used 360 degrees feedback system. I don't think that system is bad in itself, I've been in companies where it worked very well. I've also seen a company w

Ok so let's say two humans pass each other by somewhere in the universe, each in their own spaceship, in opposite directions. They both travel with half the speed of light, so relative to each other with full light speed. Which one is

Do not quit, but discuss your situation with your manager. Things might not be so bad as Elon makes them appear. As you say, you are willing to move, just 4 months later. I can hardly imagine that your manager wouldn't be willing to f

The vast majority of software developers spend their days mapping database tables to web UI's in some way or another. You don't need any CS or math for that and from experience I can say that most of them don't have this know

This question should be asked to the Swiss themselves, not to any outsider like me. I'm sure they can agree on a name, and I guess they did already because the official Swiss country code is 'CH' which doesn't correspond

I don't see anything wrong with countries being called by their real names. It will take a while for everybody to get used to, but in the end we'll get rid of all the ambiguity. I can't help but wonder if the arousal over Tür

I'm not a fan of Bitcoin but this statement is nonsense. A Bitcoin is worth something because some people are willing to pay for it, just like a car is worth something for that same reason. You might say that a car has 'real valu

Exactly, this is what OP was trying to point out. With the record matching feature, you don't need the extra abstract base class anymore. This is not to say that abstract base classes are never a good idea, but sometimes in Java they w

Yeah I was wondering the same. From the M87's images I understood that the bright part of the ring was moving towards us, that's why it was brighter. But with this explanation, how can there be 3 bright lumps then on Sag A's

There are all kinds of way out of this in case he would get sued: he could say that with 'there is no risk', he just meant shorthand for 'there is no more than a negligible risk'. Or he could say that with 'there is

Seriously, I'm 52 years old, last year I was interviewing for a new job and one company was asking me that same question. My honest answer would have been 'retired' but this would probably have broken their HR system.
