is there an option for full remote during Corona?

I absolutely love Idealo for price comparison. Before I buy, I search Idealo + product via Google

What does homelessness mean in an US context? Is it a state where you cannot even afford rent and actually sleep on the streets? I have read quite a few posts in HN referring to homelessness. For someone from a much much poorer nation, posts/comments from here suggest it is so so easy to be homeless in US than ours which brings disbelief to me.

And secondly, the author points she is "upper class"? How can upper class family or individual ever need to borrow loans and also not have assets? I only ask to gain some social context. For example, our social context, a middle class family wouldn't take education loans and would have assets, in general (even the many thousands of students who immigrate to US to study, the middle class student do not take loans to fund their education in US university - This is what always surprises me when I see posts/comments similar to this)

I was thinking about a tool as such and wanted to build after I finished my Master's when I would have time (as I work full-time). The experience you described is exactly why I wanted to build such a tool in the first-place. And, this is going to be really useful.

However, is there a Windows version? That is, unfortunately, what I have to use at work.

Learn to use the debugger and read code commit history. And talk with your team-mates. In the last few months, as a student working part-time (< 20hrs/week), I am on a PHP codebase with over 5 million LOC and 15 years of work, and I was pretty good with dealing around it within a month. There are lots of dependencies like you mentioned and at least three different "eras" of code frameworks and hardly any documentation. I had not touched PHP in any capacity before this for at least 3 years. I admit PHP is easier to read and reason than Java when afresh but those three things made me really fast to be productive and making independent production-ready features.

Hey, do you have a werk-student or internship opportunity? And, further, possibilities for remote?

Turmeric is a base spice used in many dishes from South Asian Indian subcontinent. It is good news if this has positive benefits. Maybe country comparative research can provide more evidence.

Re:How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Job Hunt on Monday January 01, 2018 @07:29AM (#16045819)
I have a similar experience. I am still at university and not a native-German, but I am asking around, and for a non-IT German, 60K (gross) would be like super-rich money, and companies are not willing to give you that much. However, my experience is not based on the big cities, where I know 50-60K (gross) would be the starting rate for a Master's student.

I would be interested to hear other's opinion and experience, as I will join the workforce later this year.

Can one collect data without "personal data" by anonymizing those specific attributes (ip, phone number)?

Also, say, I want to collect data about the performance of the web application. Can that be collected, or does it require explicit consent as well?

Re:Ask HN: Resources to learn blockchain and smart contracts? on Wednesday October 04, 2017 @04:02AM (#15398949)
I quickly checked the syllabus, however didn't find smart contracts? Do they go into that in some of the videos? How much time do you think this course takes?
Re:Ask HN: Resources to learn blockchain and smart contracts? on Wednesday October 04, 2017 @04:01AM (#15398941)
Did you do it via self-study? How was the experience?

that's quite a good resource :)

IANAL. This should depend on the contract you had with your ex-companies. My previous big company had a contract that stated that more than two of us could not leave the same time and work at the any same company for a period of 6-12 months.

I think if you and your friends worked together, but now, some amount of time has passed then, it should be fair enough.

Re:Ask HN: What linux distro should I start with? on Monday May 29, 2017 @09:30AM (#14438987)
I would suggest Antergos based on Arch, in that case. You can select xfce as the starting de, and then install wm on top of it, or individually. You will get a working distro quite easily, and after that you can customize as much as you want, without having to go through the base Arch distro installation, which requires you to follow the excellent Arch wiki guides. I installed Antergos on a 4 years old laptop that I got recently, and it works fine seamlessly.

I posted a question in the vein of "unless you're violating copyright or patent law".

How do you know if you are breaking copyright or patent law? How do you figure out the jungle of patents? or patents that are too general and thus similar?

If the competitor is using PHP, and I use Python is that a different product in the view of the "patent"?

I am in Germany now. Can you tell me why this is not the case in mainland Europe? Is it much better in Europe to do side-project in lieu of the fear of getting sued?
Re:Developers’ side projects on Saturday December 10, 2016 @04:36PM (#13148067)
For those who like this idea, can we have a communication channel to ask how you did it?
