Yeah, I am European, I've lived and worked in 3 different EU countries. But Americans really don't appreciate how lucky they are. An American CS college grad can earn more than almost all senior/staff engineers anywhere in th

I never add a photo because it can have you excluded from some processes e.g. government. The tricky one is citizenship - again for some companies it might get you excluded (though they should tell you beforehand), but it also helps a lot t

But as a hiring manager, why check this over LinkedIn where all the users are? I could see more value in a specialised community that has requirements for entry - like contributing code, having written a useful personal project, some sort o

And forcing people to use headphones would make it a lot easier too.

No, if you're performing paid work like that it's still violating the visa. Just that normally no-one ever checks or cares. It could be a problem if you later try to become a resident in the same country though.

It's about the same price as a reasonable laptop (e.g. Vivobook is now) or a games console. And it had to be, because the UK was much, much poorer in terms of average disposable income than the US at the time (and still is really).

The Framework pricing seems crazy, it'd cost about 2400 euros to get it in my country (where it isn't sold directly atm). That's over 2 months of discretionary spending (net income after mortgage + student debt). And it doesn

Israel was also behind many of the efforts to smear the former opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn - https://www.middleeasteye.net/fr/news/israeli-diplomat-sough... The current government is a huge ally of Israel.

Royalties will still be paid though. And royalties are paid from a revenue share model AFAIK, it's not a strict 0.0X cents per stream, etc. It's probably a bit of a better deal than the royalty agreements with the big 4 record lab

Seems unlikely, Sweden has elections in the autumn and the second-biggest party was previously anti-NATO (as is the current ruling party, in the past at least). It all looks rosy now, but remember just a few years ago when Turkey shot down

But like here in Sweden Mobile BankID forces you to use Android or Apple. And at least that's a great improvement over the old BankID that forced you to use Windows. But even both of those are massive improvements over the old days of

I got hit from a 1.9% to 2.5% change while in the process of closing last month :( About $150 per month wasted, meanwhile natural gas and electricity prices are also going to the moon (as a Europoor).

You can just use unsafe if you care in this case though. It's a saner default option tbh.

In Sweden they sometimes do it with a phone, as you can Swish to pay directly to phone numbers. I'm not sure how they register with a bank and their ID though, maybe it's not theirs or they share it. Nevertheless, they really shou

Cashless is great, I moved from the UK to Sweden. Haven't used cash in years. Also helps to stop drug dealers and tax evasion.

Yeah, it's a disaster here in Stockholm. A 12+ year queue with lots of young working people basically subsidising wealthy older people to live in the city centre for under half of market rates. Renting as a whole should really be much

But on the other hand they have a much bigger incentive than a company to be able to have a system they control and can use throughout different public administrations.

It's pretty good and practical. The only real downsides are in the library availability and deployment vs. more established languages. I'd choose to use it if I could though, it has the least downsides of any language IMO.

60k would be a pretty good salary even in the UK, Germany or Sweden. In Romania, etc. you're looking more at like 15-25k. Americans don't know how good they have it.
