Here's my prediction. Plot the publication dates of Daniel et al.'s two existing works and future ones against the years in the titles, and you'll get a hockey stick curve. Fascinating reads, Daniel! Keep 'em coming!
> 1. live in a cheaper location 2. do things that don't scale & do the ugly work From the creators of how to draw the owl, lol!
How come Claude Code still hasn't triaged and fixed this? Feed it the bug link, someone.
Hang on, wasn't the market supposed to work it out? How come it's someone's job to fast-track inclusion? Isn't intervening directly in the market a communist policy? Are you a communist by any chance?
So, you're saying the US (300+ mln, #1 military) never actually requested to deploy them and Denmark (5 mln) never actually refused. But because you think an agreement is unlikely, it's straight to annexation by force.…
> Let the market decide... They're changing the rules on inclusion ... You have the market deciding and the rules changing in the same paragraph and nothing's bothering you. I genuinely envy your peace of mind, my…
> ... part of the reasons that Trump wants Greenland is to site ICBM detection and interceptor systems. Nothing is stopping the US from deploying those in Greenland right now. The only reason Trump wants Greenland is…
> From the start, two bedroom at 80k salary for living alone is already an interesting choice for 2026. Fair point. That example comes from my research, but trying to anonymize it somewhat I ended up messing it up…
OK, come to think about it, I have to admit, a job in Tech means you can afford renting a place on your own. I let my frustration with European comp levels take the best of me. My bad.
> My feeling are hurt by this Well, my feelings are hurt by seeing so many talented engineers getting compensated so badly. How come that for all the signing and dancing about worker rights protections when push comes…
I don't feel like discussing my personal situation on the Internet. And was careful not to imply otherwise. That said, I was considering relocating to Germany and researching the country as best I could. I do prefer…
Thanks for the insight!
> Few years ago in Holland it was something like 100k salary == mortgage for 500k house. No downpayment, 2k monthly. Would it be wrong to think that the borrower would repay a potential downpayment a few times over to…
Thanks for the link, intresting. I must be missing something, how do these stats square with home prices being in the 200-500-infinity range ballpark and, a very decent for Europe, salary being 50 thousand euro or so?…
> I was more talking about the choice to remain in my home country vs move to the US. Fair point. I just realized I was replying from the perspective of attracting talent which obviously different from keeping it. Glad…
What would your expences look like, if you don't mind sharing?
And GP guesses your comment might be using humor as a coping mechanism. I'm not American, the question was why Europe can't keep talent ("talent" doesn't really include me). Well, the compensation is just depressing.…
Your questions are likely addressed to me. Well, maybe things are better than I imagine. Would you be comfortable sharing a few things? Thanks! What're your monthly expenses? After rent, that is. Just groceries, a…
> I recognise that Germany/Austria/France are different, but that's exactly my point, there is very little common European labour law. So, I don't live in Germany but I tried to look into how things work there a little…
Do you have a link to a labor law stating it's half a year?
Where is more than 50% coming from? If you aren't married your effective tax rate is at 42% (tax plus social deductions which aren't technically taxes). Tons of tax calculators available online, see for yourself. > you…
Don't know your personal situation, but sounds like you're in a good spot. Happy for you! (Unironically). Here're some rough current salaries/cost of living numbers though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46524452
Some rough numbers here -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46524452
If you own, you hit a jackpot, basically. Then, yes, life in Europe can be very nice. Sharing an apartment while in college is OK, even fun in my book. We're talking about immigrants though, right? (If you don't want…
> Once you have the stronger pool of talent you get the better companies Don't really have anything to back up what I'm about to say except a gut feeling. But Europe actually has got plenty of talent. European business…
