I did some checking after work and apparently I'm earning what Finnish Engineering Union suggests for new engineer without working experience.

Other sources aren't nearly as helpful, but they put me somewhere in the middle of all people (or something).

I'm sure some people earn more, especially closer to Helsinki, but currently I'm content with my earnings.

Yeah, I guess if your rent is ~2k/mo you can't afford it with 30k/year, but my rent is less than 200€/mo

I currently work in Finland and earn $35k/year, but granted I currently live alone in a small flat. I own older model car. I don't consume a lot of food. Which leaves me with most of my salary to spend/save as I see fit. Maybe in time I come to see lack of my salary, but for past ~4 years I only had student welfare which left me with little less than 200€/mo (~$220) after rent and stuff for food and what little hobbies I could support. So the change has been huge

Completely off-topic, but whenever I see these amounts I feel like either I don't understand how U.S. economy works or I've been living in poverty my whole life. I'm recently graduated B.Sc in compsci and I'm doing software testing and to me 30k/year is plenty. Like I have money to buy all kind of unnecessary stuff for my hobbies. Is 30k/year really low salary in U.S.? Or am I just being under paid? I always though my family was above middle class, but I guess we've been under it or something...

I recently resubscribed, but I had forgotten the lack of content without proxies and since I'm mostly just streaming to Chromecast from my phone I'm not sure I can even use a proxy anymore. I probably should unsubscribe either way. I haven't really watched anything new since I resubscribed

At least I can set my own time zone in my flux, so couldn't you just set yours to different so it only darkens after X o'clock?

So, are people actually using code on SO as is? At least I only use it to learn how to use something and then adapt it to my needs. Surely this is my code and doesn't require any attribution or whatever?

Its not that surprising to see mostly men since all technical fields consist mostly of them. And the social part is pretty common among tech-enthusiasts.

What does the gender have to do with people being "awkward"?

I don't know. I haven't really paid attention. For me Atom is just free ST. It gets the job done for me.

Well, ST has been around little longer, so there is still time for Atom to catch up.

Depends what kind of things you need/want to make. I've modified few themes and it's pretty simple stuff after little experimentation.

Well, one easy way to achieve this is to turn off notifications from all the apps. I'm constantly surprised how many people around me have their phone ring/vibrate from every little thing. Even worse are the people with Apple Watches with all notification from everywhere flooding into their wrists, it's like they are constantly checking the time and making tiny adjustments.

But then again I don't quite understand social media. I just have small circle of friends I'm in touch on daily bases and we are little old hat and just use IRC like we've always done.

"Only needs phone ~5 times a moth" that is still 60 times in a year. For me the whole "argument" (or whatever) fell apart there. I can accept the "one ruined meeting in three years", but if you need something weekly (or more than once a week) you are not "living without it".

He could easily achieve the same exact result by not installing social apps, disabled browser and just having Uber and actual calling functionality and you could still call forward every incoming call to landline so the mobile wouldn't even ring.

Of course you can (and probably should) be "sneaky" about it and have alter motive to go to that city, say you go to a concert or maybe it has better movie theater or maybe there is some kind of conference.

About using the phone in places you don't routinely go, I can think of at least couple places like coffee shops that are within range of another public wifi which I don't normally associate with.

>Well, usually there has to be a SIM card in your phone to use it for communication.

Isn't the whole point here to only use public WiFi through Tor with the "anonymophone"?

I'm sure there will be one, but it'll take quite a while for WoW to die like that

Either your building has old/cheap/shitty elevators or they are misconfigured. This is already standard feature in our elevators.

I know this is a cop-out, but wouldn't Google Docs work just fine in the browser here. I mean I haven't done any work on Google Docs, but I did use it all the way through uni.

Or maybe we should just force everyone on Vim and world would be more glorious and productive place.... right?

Imo if you can run existing Android apps in resizable windows it would be a huge win. There are many well made Android apps that would work just fine as their own windowed applications

Well, there are always the tinfoil-hat-theories

Yep 240p was watchable, but no one wanted to watch it. I used to make stupid little "frag movies" and we used to upload them to youtube for "quick review" and if we found it interesting or good then there was always some file sharing site URL to download better quality version for local viewing

Aren't Nexus devices getting their updates from Google? I haven't really paid attention since I was using stuff like CyanogenMod until I switched to iOS

So are there just bunch of well made German apps that are doing well or why do you think it's not spread to other countries?

Do you feel like Google should take stronger stance for phone manufacturers to update their own software?

I don't think it can be blamed on Google if phone manufacturers don't update their devices fast enough and if Google would take stronger stance in OS updates and manufacturers would jump ship wouldn't Microsoft face same issues?

Or did I miss completely what you meant?

Just guessing, but maybe they saw what has happened to Windows Phone market shares. Sure there are people who absolutely love their Windows Phones to bits, but it's not really gaining momentum to be a serious threat to Android or iOS, which means less and less developers are willing to put in the effort to create apps for their platform.

Now think of Firefox OS, it's even younger and even less mature than Windows Phone with no real benefit for your average users. I doubt I could sell a Firefox OS to a normal user on the street

Why is it that Chinese 'knock-offs' can always cut so much from the price? Is it just material choices?

Or we simply get this chicken-egg problem where people don't want to develop, market and release games for platform, that is just an addon for PC, that doesn't actually sell well since the price point is so high and there is no games to play with it.

I'm very interested to try Oculus, but not until the price is around other gaming accessories (i.e. south of 200€). Unless someone comes out with game or app that completely revolutionalizes the way we use computers I'm not forking over 750€ for a fad

So what is the usual usecase for these Jupyter notebooks? I see everyone praising them, but I still don't really know a good use case. I thought about using it as notebook for work stuff, but I don't want to run something in command line and then in browser to make a simple note when I can just open vim and make a quick note

Major loss when "bad guys" steal all your credentials or is NYC also providing everyone with free VPN?
