It is. In Germany at least all communications must be encrypted. And often multiple meters will communicate via one gateway. Though, if someone has the time and technical ability t…

Thanks for the real numbers. When I was looking the sort of salaries I was being quoted were in the 10000 per month range which is a lot more than what I'm currently on but would a…

True, they're not that crazy, but when I looked at the higher salary Vs the higher costs it was financially better to stay put. Of course money isn't the only deciding factor but i…

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but while salaries are high and taxes are relatively low, general living costs are quite high. Particularly if you have kids and so want a bigger ho…

I don't think you're going to get a great response as that's a lot of identifying information you're asking for. Country, Area (optional), years of experience, gross salary and ext…

Sorry for the derail, but who are you with in Germany for that deal? All the contracts I've seen start at at least €40.

> 9. Do you use the best tools money can buy? I always took this as a criticism of companies where you've got developers who earn multiple thousands per month pecking away at old P…

This is probably more possible now given the ease with which a fraud can get someone else to do their work for them (I remember a news story doing the rounds of an experienced deve…

Even worse, working on technical debt may be viewed as a negative thing ("if it's working why did you change it?" said the phb). I've yet to find a code review process beyond a tri…

Well, according to this, my house should already be under water. That's what happens when you live below the water level of the neighbouring canal...

To get insight into their budgets. I have tried one or two services similar to mint in an effort to get more control on budgeting. The typical bank provided online banking interfac…

I took this to be less a post about not having a degree but rather, not keeping up with the market. How it's easy to just do the work that's in front of you and not consider how yo…

There are many countries which prompt for neither prayer nor patriotism. Ireland certainly does not and I don't think the UK does either (certain very religious schools of course m…

Not really no. I'm I don't think I spelled it correctly but it's phonetically correct. "Mar yea" would be a dismissive description meaning something like "..as if" or ".. not!"

Capital Gains Tax: I'm not a tax lawyer but there's good advice here: http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/money_and_tax/tax/capit... Morale wise, again I don't know. I'm currently…

Gaelic is compulsory for both primary and secondary school which means that almost everyone will study it between the ages of 5 and 16 (minimum school leaving age). It says somethi…

B'fhéidir go fuair siad mórchuid aireagaid lena chuir isteach ann? Street-cred mar yea.

That and they probably just got a huge grant for putting their first translation in Irish... But yes, the tax laws in Ireland are incredibly generous, if you're a corporation. I sa…

It's dehumanizing because the targets are painted as one-dimensional figures to be "eliminated" not a people who have been killed. See paragraph 3 in the linked post I'm not saying…

I agree absolutely. There are individuals and groups out there drumming up controversy whenever they can, whatever their motives are. I didn't mean to compare the two in terms of w…

It may be for domestic consumption but there are plenty of Palestinians who do speak English and I'm pretty sure at least some of them are on Twitter. After all, if a Danish cartoo…

As a developer, with a good few years of experience behind me (admittedly in non-startup areas like insurance and equity plans), who's actively looked to move to Singapore I've fou…

It seems to me as an outsider as well that any kind of physical activity is generally looked down. Not absolutely but more in a 'if you don't have to, why would you' way. Plus, it'…

We're looking for mid to senior level C# developers in Chennai, India. No Remote I'm afraid. We are a small company with ambitious plans to disrupt the equity management space targ…
