Sure

by pyb 5y ago
Yes that's probably near the median dev salary locally. Some FAANGs understand this and have decided to hire more in Europe.

It's the norm in France for employers to pay another euro of tax for each euro their employees earn.

I wonder if this is due to the cost of materials, or the cost of local labour.

Who is "we"? Projects such as VLC tried the consulting approach, but didn't get the outcomes that they'd hoped for.

Would YC have to shrink the batches to implement this change?

You get 500k investment, and you get to participate in the YC accelerator.

It's a game changer for US companies as well !

BTW, is YC going to open up their early application process this month?

by pyb 5y ago
That looks like an incredibly founder-friendly deal, and such a huge change wrt the current YC offer !

They seem to be having tech talent issues as well. In that regard, the repeat AWS outages, plus the state of the Amazon catalog could be seen canaries in the coalmine.

Some shiftier startups have started to use the term "founding engineer" in their recruitment materials. I doesn't mean "cofounder" at all. Rather, it's a new, confusing term for "1st engineering hire"

I was researching suitable sites to legally build a tiny house in the EU, without a building permit. So far I have: - Some regions in Sweden - Some areas in Portugal - Possibly Romania - It used to be common in Poland, but possibly illegal

Yes, many will remember the crazy waiting lists for the Pi 10 years ago. They did not expect to get a huge amount of demand so early.

But, beyond the short term, what do you reckon of the availability over the last 5 years?

I am not referring to the current environment, from what I remember of the last few years, Pi parts have not been consistently available. Or am I misrepresenting?

With the Compute Modules, Raspberry Pi wanted to enter industrial/professional markets. However, in these markets, availability on short notice is a fundamental requirement. The CMs appear mostly unobtainable, and it's not clear t

Webkit was not started by Apple, please don't erase the original developers.

It would also be great if they could cut deals with "pro" electronics distributors here in Europe. None of their current distributors are able to ship very fast.

"the discussions on HN are today ... two camps that are just screaming at each other." Not really... HN has made its mind up, it's become mostly indifferent to crypto. Too many unfulfilled promises over the last decade. The s

Y'all are too kind in saying that the video "doesn't give the complete picture." Their answer is wrong, the right answer is 1 second. To see why, consider the same problem with the wire cut at the far end...
