My GF owns her apartment and 500 EUR would be a normal price for all that so I pay her half of that as we share the apartment.

> We have internet that we use for watching shows.

What could you possibly be watching on the internet?

Not triple. About 60% more (before taxes).

I have ideas and experience but no time. I will tell the intern what to code and he/she will code it up for me. Example: I want a webpage with all youtube links posted to HN in last 24 hours. He will make it for me http://blogsearchfrontend.interviewblindspots.com/vanavil/hn...

Another example. Go to all common crawl, identify all webpages related to NCSU, download images in them, run YOLO to remove human faces, run Falcon model to remove logos and see what comes up. Intern will code it up for me.
