scawf··on “Not just a virus that kills people”–WHO spotlights long-term Covid-19
Believe me, you _don't_ feel the same way.

People that get theses symptoms have to stay in bed all day, for months. Some can't even cut carrots without needing a 15-30 minutes break.

scawf··on Ask HN: What are some side hustles for Software Developers?
That might not be what you want to hear, but 70k in NYC is a bad salary..

Why wuld you want a side hustles when you can double your salary ? That may not be easy, but it's doable. Side hustles: improves; so you can get a good salary.

scawf··on Coronavirus doctor's diary: Why are people remaining ill for so long?
I have the exact same experience.

It took about 100 days before my wife could start working again, and she is still experiencing chest pain, breathlessness and fatigue (at first symptoms + 115 days).

She was told to endure and rest. What a great plan.

> Sacrificing present happiness for the future is the definition of a long term goal.

> Today I sacrificed alcohol I would have enjoyed

It does not mean you have sacrificed happiness. You can (I hope) be happy without drinking.

scawf··on Ask HN: What's your biggest pain point in your life?
> What's your biggest pain point in your life?

Having to work full time, but using 80% of my income to survive (tax, flat, food, transport..)

scawf··on Ask HN: Is your company doing anything to prepare for outbreak related issues?
Management is working on an emergency plan: Checking who can work remote and at what efficiency level (only a laptop with children in the kitchen VS desk with dual screen in a dedicated room). Result/plan has not been announced yet

Sounds like a good way to get mugged with violence.. "Transfer me all of your bank account, right now !!" (To an account opened using fake ids of course)
scawf··on Tesla Stock $750
I though the 300$ price was already taking future profitability into account. It was the explanation for that high price at the time.
scawf··on 100% winrate trading strategy open sourced?
> It meant random data from the same domain - simulated price/volume data within a reasonable range

How do you know what is a reasonable range without hypothesis on the price distribution ?

Where does these hypothesis comes from ? historical data ?

So.. is that really valid ?

I assume it's because they want to sell the device.
scawf··on Ask HN: Am I being paid enough in Europe?
Most people don’t get crazy big salary. That’s it.

Also, French company are not very good at giving what you’re worth. They are kind of strict on the salary range given some amount of experience.

But if you are good, you can either get the top 10% of salary, or create your own company.

The top 10% don’t advertise much about what they have, but it exists. You can reach 100k level in France. (Not with only 3y of experience of course)

scawf··on Ask HN: Am I being paid enough in Europe?
44k€ gross ? (before social security?)

That seems about right to me. In Paris I know several people getting about 42/46 at the same level of experience. So 44 outside of Paris is not bad at all.

Although, there is a huge disparity. There are some opportunity at 70k in Paris for 5Y of experience..

scawf··on Activists release code to generate free public transportation tickets in U.K
In some french city, bus have been made "free".

It's said that it's a net benefice for everyone:

- people move more, because it's free

- shop sells more because more people

- less cost induced by individual transport (less car on road = less damages, less pollution..)

scawf··on Measles: Four European nations lose eradication status
In France, it is mandatory. Still, there is some cases of measles because of anti-vax that go against the law...
scawf··on Ask HN: Developer Job Security During a Recession
2001 seems really far in the past when you look at how tech evolved in the recent years.

Do you think it'd be the same today (Everything is numeric nowadays) ?

scawf··on Ask HN: Best place to maximize value of incomes?
Looking at personal income tax is not really enough: in my example France is at 30% (for this salary range) but we get 65% when we add everything up

I don't know if there is a term for that "cost at employer side" vs "what you get in value"

scawf··on Ask HN: Anyone making 200k as a software engineer outside the US?
700€ in Paris as a contractor is possible, but it's equivalent to about 400€ as an employee..
scawf··on Ask HN: How do I earn more as a developer?
