trias··on Ask HN: Why do managers tend to make more money than engineers?
pay is aligned to hierarchy in the first approximation. people have a hard time accepting that they are overseeing someone who has a higher pay and the other way around.

At the end of the hierarchy, skill (& experience/age) counts. Engineering is one of the best paid "worker profession", i.e. you are not involved in managing the work of others.

Some jobs can be easily replaced, which usually means they are paid less.

Some jobs require trust by the employer (e.g. manager) and are better paid, because changing jobs would harm the employer.

Also some industries pay more than others, simply because their industry is more profitable than others.

trias··on The debit card fee driving US banks crazy
I don't understand this market. In Germany all bank interactions are basically free, you pay nothing (or little) for a bank account, everyone gets one (by law), credit cards are free and if you're lucky you also get about 1% of interest on your money. Why do american banks have to charge that much?

trias··on German court requires Google to stop ignoring customer emails
The law in question is not intended regulate business-customer-relations, but is also for business-business of business-press-relation or any other form of contact.

If you operate a business in germany and have a website you have to have an "impressum". Even most personal sites put up an "impressum" even if they are not required too, just because everyone is scared of the "impressumspflicht".
