Adrenaline rushes are addictive, and free. Enjoy them! Being terrified on stage is what makes me want to do it. Once you lose this feeling, being on stage loses its appeal. Trust me, it happened to me. It sucks.
I could get a 60k USD a year remote thing but I would be out of the system (I mean, now I am an Argentinian employee with all the rights it entails). For 60k, it is not worth it. For 100k it would be worth to solve all the issues associated with getting money from abroad (maybe make a corporation somewhere?). Anyway, I am listening to 100k+ offers.
Not the original commenter, but this is the situation in Argentina. I would love to do a remote gig and get 100k a year. I am a programmer with over 20 years of experience and I can program professionally in over 10 different programming languages.
I think full self driving will be achieved when infrastructure and laws are adapted to it. We already have the tech to pull it off. A clear example of this is metro line 14 in Paris (it has no driver).
We don't need trains, just proper painting of the roads and separate autonomous vehicles from the rest.
Trying to use the current infrastructure without any adaptation seems to me a dead road.
I think it shows that employers are a cartelized oligopsony. That's why they can get away with paying different salaries based on anything but performance (in this case, location)
I don't get why companies don't just hire in the cheap job markets paying a little more than market price there but far less than Silicon Valley, instead of hiring in Silicon Valley. Specially for remote work! Can someone who does that explain why?
I never understood the need to squash commits (or rebase). If you do merge requests and use merge commits (like GitHub or gitlab do). A "nice" history is a small script away. It should even be a part of the GitHub/gitlab gui. Do not loose information about the development history!
Almost everyone is bilingual in Barcelona. They teach Catalan and Spanish at school, and both are spoken by the general population. How did they get non-bilingual people there?
This is the kind of narrative I expect when the powers that be want to separate a part of a country. This is clearly an attempt to separate Russia from its Siberian wealth. For a textbook example of getting a part of a country via generating an independence movement see the history of Panama (former Colombia province).
I don't think they are useless. We cannot stop breathing for 10 minutes, but we can not eat or drink for days, but no one would say that eating is useless.
The same is happening with our society. We are sick so we suspended the equivalent of eating, while we keep the equivalent of breathing going on.
In Argentina, same pay for the same job is a constitutional right. If they hire someone here they would get a lawsuit asking for Silicon Valley payment.
He even deposed a democratic government. He was a big Macri supporter, and several 'ongs' supported by him where presided by members of his government (for example, Laura Alonso). If this guy gets Twitter control it will make Twitter complete trash.
