> The tech industry is a major factor in this, where senior-level positions in non-FAANG companies can make upwards of $150k/yr in the US, and the PPP equivalent European salary is around half of that. Why does this matter so much w

This is fixed in most countries by creating brackets that stack. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_tax You'd pay let's say 15% over the first 30k, and then 30% over the remainder.

It's not enforced by CPython the interpreter. You run mypy to enforce the type hints: http://mypy-lang.org/ It's quite good.

Maybe I am too European for this, but I'd be very wary if I received such emails. I'd shrug and throw it in the bin. You come across as a try hard that is more concerned with "chit chatting" than performing actual work.

Depends on where in Europe you live. The more east you go, the faster it gets. Fiber and 1 Gbps is standard and cheap here. I pay €15/month for that (TV included). 4G is everywhere. I pay €8/month for unlimited data usage and phon

I feel that this depends on the kind of app you're building. If you have a development team already familiar with React and related technology and your app is simple in nature, then you'll get there quicker with React Native. It&#

I think you underestimate how good the internet here in Romania is. There are not many places in this world where you can get unlimited internet at 500Mbits for a few euros a month.

That depends on how you work. I switch between multiple projects at work during the day. Not very efficient, but that's just how it is. I do exactly what Partizion does in tmux. I run a separate session for each project. This allows me

Example of some incentives where I live: - Pregnant women can start working 6 hours a day at full pay from week 12. - Up to two years of paternity leave at ~80% pay, capped at roughly 3x the median wage. Either parent can take this, or it c

Holy crap! I read about Tesults.com on HN about a year ago and a while ago I wanted to try it out. I googled and searched for hours multiple times. I never found it back until this comment right here. Thank you!

It wouldn't, but eventually somehow is going to find a way to sneakily install apps on my grandma's phone that are no good. I like the current experience because it keeps the really bad stuff out.

We went down. We're not pinning the SSL cert. We're behind CloudFront, and CloudFront didn't trust the new cert and stopped forwarding traffic.

I work in Romania as a developer, in an office with a little more than 40 people. In terms of women in the office: - 2 developers - 1 project manager - 1 QA manager - 1 HR - 1 office manager It's a little low for this city and country.

I was expecting the Dutch word "gezellig" to be on the list. I found "polderen" instead. Interesting, "gezellig" is much more used in day to day life than "polderen". I am not even sure most Dutch kno

I can see how that conclusion gets drawn. Any new feature that is announced can be met with some negativity. Sometimes it just ends up working despite that. It is not surprising to me that at first, they tried to defend their plans. It prob

But they didn't. They cancelled the feature in time. So no real harm was done.

The negativity towards to original announcement of making profiles public was deserved. For me, the negativity towards the CEO's apology and cancelling the feature is not. Everyone makes mistakes and if nobody would be willing to look

I am not an active Triplebyte user, but I have an account and followed the thread(s). This e-mail (which I also got) seems like a heartfelt apology. They fucked up, realized it and turned the ship around. They listened and that's what

I don't get why they add them when posting on HN. It's a senstive crowd and they can still figure out that the traffic came from HN by logging/tracking the `Referrer` header.
