What are your living expenses? Where are you located? I've scouted for houses in South Spain some time ago and was under the impression you can get a decent house near the beach for around 50k Euro, which isn't a lot. Also, what a

They are comparable. Bulgaria/Romania : You can easily get 1500-2500 Euro gross with a few years of XP. Taxes and cost of living are lower too. Ukraine : An acquaintance of mine, who's sold a few startups, didn't have succe

Actually, wages aren't that low. Taxes are high, specifically the tax brackets mess things a bit! Net salary is a bit over 55% of your gross income when you account for health insurance, pension, taxes AND you don't pay church tax

I've looked around and it seems there are lithium-sulfur based batteries with 10x capacity and all in all lasting 4x Source: http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/157525-new-sulfur-based-b...

Makes me think how much we need a revolution in batteries. I am wondering if there will be a new type of batteries soon or maybe we'll get improved capacity by slapping a software layer that manages charging/discharging.

You went really deep down the rabbit hole. There is nothing illegal in demanding someone's resignation because of views, there is nothing illegal in thousands of other stuff I wouldn't do. What I meant by fair is that according

What does his stance on gay marriage tell you about his ability to lead? It tells me exactly nothing. Has he harrased or fired an employee for being gay? I really doubt that.

Has B.Eich done anything do expose his views in the workplace? I don't think so. It's unfair to push your political/societal ideas on others in the company and demand they conform to them. I am saying that as a note to some e

It isn't. I took a course in my last year at high school and real world analogies made OOP seem a breeze. Almost no one in the course had problems grasping OOP basics and applying them. Of course, the OOP lectures came after 3 months o

How do you know they think they are awesome? Maybe they are aware of their limitations and try to keep their ego at bay by reminding themselves about Dunning-Kruger's statement?

The only difference is support I believe.

If there are good cops(or in this case NSA personnel), why don't they protect us from the bad ones? Although Snowden may be included in the former category.

If you take a peek at history, you will see that we never learn from it and repeat the same mistakes. That's a thing a historian friend of mine says a lot. What strikes me is this: when one parent asked, what Snowden's destinatio

You can't dig below the reactor, because there is a high chance of the whole structure collapsing and getting in contact with water. However, I share your opinion on dealing with radioactive waste. It's not a technical challenge,

Exactly. And I really want to hear his/her opinion, because it interests me. My goal isn't to attack in a passive-aggressive manner.

I am interested in what kind of alternative are you offering? How do you give basic knowledge to the majority of people?

If we multiply his hourly rate by the amount of hours he put, we get around $23,000.

But that's hard to do, considering our minds are natural born lawyers. There is a fine line between confidence and believing BS, one that I can't always find.

I had pretty serious musical training that lasted for a few years. Anyways, my teachers were crazy imaginative. They would also build stuff from what looked like scraps - insulated and strengthened jacks, book shelves, studio monitor stands

Yep, I always thought that driverless trucks will come before that kind of cars. Better safety, lower costs, faster shipping, because there are no driver breaks.

Yeah, I know it's basically like what happened after the industrial revolution. However, I wonder what the consequences would be, considering the constantly rising population.

I've always fancied the idea of drone-waiters. There won't be any need of truck/cab drivers soon too. A lot of jobs will be lost in the future, because of automation. I don't know if that's good or not, however.

If anything can't be written in JS now, it will be written in JS in the future. Everything will be in JS some day.

I think 400 euro is a lot for a device with these specs though. They are letting a huge number of devices "fly under them"(be cheaper) and the average consumer doesn't give a damn if the phone runs Sailfish OS or Android. Nev

Don't concern yourself with labels. Apply yourself, learn new stuff and meet new people who work in the industry :) You'll figure out the rest.

And that's not all! Insane copyright prevents a lot of people from legally watching popular series. I am in Europe and there is no legal way for me to watch say "The Walking Dead" or any other series. So what do I do when I d
