Then perhaps it should be said openly, that this is an elderly tax, not a pension and it should be just kept to the minimum, allowing people to save more of their own income for their own private pension.

Currently, it's the worst of both worlds: you get taxed quite a significant portion of your income, and then, in the middle of the game, someone changes the rules and tells you to play longer in order to get the prize.

While I agree with the post author on the "if I pay the subscription then there should be no ads" part, there is a bit that comes fairly often in such posts which I find rather funny: "sell my data to your advertisers"

Sorry, that's not how 90% of digital advertising works. The company doesn't sell your data, they just offer some other companies to put an ad in front of your screen based on some specific profiling.

But these ads companies don't receive a file called "Manuel Moreale personal data and shopping history"

It's now just a simple frontend redirecting to Indeed.

How about we put responsibility on the CEOs and other C-levels?

When it comes to justifying the compensation packages, they are first to claim that they are responsible for the company achievements.

If they would actually face jail-time for non-disputable wrongdoing, then it would actually balance it out.

There is also a page with the average salary for each city.

I bet that it will land on Google's graveyard before it gets released worldwide.

Paul Skallas notices this trend as well, and it applies to pretty much everything:

- logos - cars - architecture - even personal appearance

What are the issues with a normal bank account? (apart from potentially hire fees)

Protip:

If you have a low volume of high amount transactions, skip the fancy Fintech (Mafia) companies and just use a good old bank account.

The international wire transfer fee is on par or sometimes even lower than Stripe transaction fee and once the money is transferred, it's yours.

Speaking from my own perspective of running general tech job boards [1], I would say that too narrow job boards have a really short lifespan.

This is because, you need a good supply of fresh offers to keep the audience. So if you end up to niche, you quickly become a job-ad-graveryard. Unless you scrap other big job sites automatically and somehow manage to filter and classify the jobs based on your niche.

It's quite ironic that the recent centralization and cloudarisation of the Internet (& electronic devices).

When everything was local and private, the attacker could only access a specific device or network, even if the security was often very weak. Now a single attack on a centralized entity has such a big payoff, that it makes if viable to allocate much bigger resources by attackers.

I find it troublesome to listen to the person who claims that Russia is fighting in Ukraine in a more humane way than the US in their wars

My biggest disappointment is that the product seems to be centered around recording/taking pictures and no AR features are advertised.

The big question is what kind of development platform will it provide.

Yeah, unless Google kills this product in 2 years, which has a quite high probability.

Isn't it that you get notified anyway by a site about the ToS changes (either with a popup or email message)?

The right to work 100% from home is what really makes sense, because only then people can pick their place of living freely.

This way, we could actually improve the housing situation across the country, because otherwise, it all concentrates in the biggest cities.

Yes, the market is pretty bad right now, and Indeed's data shows it quite well: https://www.hiringlab.org/data (go to Sectors and choose Software Development)

We are currently at -64% from the 2022 peak job market and even -20% compared to pre-covid number of job openings.

Isn't it the 3rd time when the same news make it to the HN main page?

Why does a package manager need to collect analytics?

The data that is collected could still be identifiable via device fingerprinting.

Tech in Switzerland is a middle class profession, you are doing well but not getting rich with it.

It's certainly not on par with what you might earn in SV, unless you work for Big Tech.

The data is sourced from over 1500 job postings published in the last 18 months on the job board.

In each case the salary range was provided directly by the company and means the total annual salary (without variable bonuses or stock / equity options)
