For 1125$ per month, your pricing page offers 10-20hrs of coding time. How do you decide if a client gets 10 or 20 hours? That’s a huge difference...

Using tailwindUI a lot. This doesn’t come close in terms of visual quality.

Viruses are nothing like bacteria, so it doesn’t make any sense to restrict the term of “infection” to those two.

How can anyone do their job if in today’s world, everything seems to be everyone’s job? The two first pages of results alone list security, data quality, “shit jobs”, ops, customer research, customer support...

So Chinese subsidies are “purposely crashing the market”, while German subsidies are... what exactly? Well, they did not crash the market, but they crush innovation and competitiveness, while China improved.

You got it wrong. The policies that heavily subsidized the solar industry were written by Merkel when she was the Minister for the Environmental Affairs in the 90s, but put in place by Minister Trittin from the Green Party after the '9

I’m not into copyleft, but is there already an analogue to AGPL that explicitly prohibits the usage of the code to train AI models? Shouldn’t be that hard to do, right?

Multiple full time jobs at the same time? Kudos for pulling that of... though, as a founder hiring remote people from time to time, this is also a bit terrifying.

There’s nothing wrong about that, but if you crunch the numbers - or look at the results of people who did - you’ll see that from a purely cashflow perspective, founding a startup is probably not a good idea compared to a traditional career

This is how winner-takes-all markets work. Though I really think that the remaining 51 students could build their career upon skills, knowledge and network gained during the program. In the end, there are a lot of jobs where you tell storie

Most of such institutes are located on a university campus and have close ties to that university, rotating staff and offering research positions to students as working student as well as for their thesis. It’s also common practice to have

Interestingly, I’ve just listened to Kahneman’s “Noise”, which features a whole chapter about Sentencing Guidelines in the US! Very good book!

As I said, it’s a well known case. But it seems like you can show proof of “regular” German business men or women who were punished much harder? Would you be so kind to drop some names and links?

This is simply not true. You and me would be smart enough to hire lawyers that can file a proper „Selbstanzeige“ according to §371 Abgabenordnung, which would prevent us from going to jail altogether ;-)

The example is just the one that’s most well known in Germany, but almost 4 years for tax evasion is in fact a high sentence and far from preferential treatment, taking into account that Hoeneß turned himself in voluntarily which was, due t

It’s not misleading. The prison term is 15 yrs max. In case of extraordinary violent crimes, the prisoner will be continuously evaluated and - if deemed to be a threat to public safety - hold on custody. Not because of the crime itself, but

Nope, we don’t add up prison time in Germany for repeating the same or related crimes over and over. On top, the 10/15 years are the maximum and barely reached. E.g. Uli Hoeneß, ex-manager of the soccer club Bayern Munich, got 3.5 year

Slightly off topic, but is anyone aware of a collection of examples or best practices for using d3 in a Vue application? I just started with d3 and I‘m not sure how to find the sweet spot regarding which DOM-operations are done by d3 and wh

Are you referring to Pfizer because of the mRNA-vaccine? That has actually been invented by the German biotech startup BioNTech ;-)

Your statement regarding legal status of a drug and addiction is wrong. Alcohol and tobacco are legal drugs and you can not only evolve a dependency on them, but if your addicted you’ll be called an addict. The same is true for other legal

My strategic suggestions: 1) lower your cost. Lowering costs is the easiest way to reduce unforeseen risks and pressure. 2) look for an anchor client and offer a retainer agreement that helps you pay all your bills. Don’t be too picky about

Some cities like Frankfurt also started to rename the „Ordnungsamt“ to „Stadtpolizei“ (City Police). Also, we should not forget that we have quite some presence of US military police around US bases like Ramstein, Kaiserslautern and NATO He

First, employers should be able to keep employees based on merit, not on arbitrary measures neither the employer nor the employee can change (sex, gender, age,...). If a company is already in trouble, having to let go talent will hurt them

To be fair: German employee protection is so strong, it's almost impossible for anyone to get fired from any company bigger than 10 employees for reasons other than committing crimes or felonies, as long as the company cannot prove tha

Agree with everything, except for the point about taxes. Income tax for employees, state officials („Beamte“) and self employed people in Germany is exactly the same regarding the tax rates. The difference is social insurance, especially pe

I‘m sorry my comment raised these feelings. People share their projects on HN bc they want feedback. I think it’s a rude thing to hijack the back button and a lot of people seem to share that sentiment. Rude behavior can be unintentional an

„he hijacks the back button so he can“ - sounds pretty much intentional. No one would argue against an alert asking you if you want to leave without saving you work or sth similar, though.
