News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Ha, my calculation included my child (counts a 1/2 part). You are right, single person would be ~1800/yr, 150/month
30% income tax is the marginal rate.

On your 30k, you get 1925€ per month (23k/yr) after corporate tax/social security etc. We call this "net" even though income tax is due on top of that.

For income tax, you pay taxes according to the following brackets (on yearly income) :

- 0€ to 9700€ : 0%

- 9701€ to 26791€ : 14%

- 26791€ to 71826€ : 30%

That means for a single person with no children, you pay an incone tax of 234€/yr, or 20€/month.

Nice. I'll be buying.

My use case for this will be the switch from French Azerty to Chinese Qwerty (bilingual speaker). I would buy this in a heartbeat if it had an attached numpad.
What are the P/E ratios of all these ?

Companies will get .io domains to appeal to developers as it looks like I/O (in/out).

Didn't they just move from Defense to Interior?
Wouldn't that mean you'd have to give each Pfennig individually? Otherwise, they'd just round the whole sum.

Note for those who try on Linux: I've had to add a local user "pi".
Re:Tor use is now forbidden on Kimsufi's OVH on Monday July 29, 2013 @03:41PM (#6123377)
"depuis quelques mois, nous avons eu plusieurs affaires juridiques lié à l'utilisation de plusieurs réseaux TOR dans le cas de la pedo et on va désormais l'interdire au même titre que tous les systèmes d'anonymisation. Cela augmente l'utilisation frauduleuse de notre réseau et le nombre de réquisition juridique chaque mois"

"starting a few months back, we've had an number of legal cases regarding the use of multiple TOR networks for pedo, and we will forbid its use from now on, the same way we forbid all anonymisation systems. It raises the number of fraudulent uses of our network and the number of subpoenas each month"

I guess it means both.

How much time to mainstream acceptance? I'd say ten years.

Bill & Melinda Gates want to avoid the foundation spending money and energy staying alive. So the rule is that all the money has to be spent 50 years after they die.

It is somewhat low for a government that should still be in its honeymoon period. They were only let into office this May.
Exactly. Every Apple, Samsung and HTC product is produced in China. It's not hard to get things done right there, as long as you cover your bases.

The idea is extremely appealing. Do you have any idea of the market size?

It makes sense to me. You want to be able to stop the unfair practices before all the competition dies out.
Re:The Elephant in the Room: Google Monoculture on Friday January 13, 2012 @04:38AM (#3459855)
Baidu is probably used more by non technical people, so I guess software engineers use Google rather than Baidu.

Re:Why the QR code is failing on Friday October 21, 2011 @05:50PM (#3141869)
I always feel it's kind of a pain to type in a smartphone, especially URLs where autocorrect can't work.

m.tcl.fr/123 wouldn't take so long I guess, but to me it feels more annoying than opening the app (which is on my second screen) and clicking on the "scan" button.

Re:Why the QR code is failing on Friday October 21, 2011 @05:37PM (#3141819)
I saw one use of the QR code that impressed me: in my city (Lyon, France), on bus stops, there are QR codes. Following them leads to a web page where you get the waiting time for the next buses. This is a quick and cheap way to display the waiting time without adding hardware to the bus stops.

The only good point I see for the QR code is that it makes it easier to get to a webpage. That made perfect use of it.

Re:Cisco to layoff 6,500 employees on Tuesday July 19, 2011 @04:41AM (#2780042)
Quick math:

This means that about 975 VP or higher are being laid off. Assuming that you are right about it being half their VP+, it means that one person in 37 is (before layoffs) VP at Cisco.

I haven't work in such large firms, but it seems excessive to call VP someone who is in charge of 30 people, no?
