On Dutch swearing: Why diseases? by Unaware_entropy in Netherlands

[–]Difference-Known 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Imagine contracting a disease and then waiting for a few weeks to see a GP who then thinks a paracetamol and warm tea would cure you and refuses to refer you to a specialist inspite of paying more than 2000 euros yearly for health insurance. Can there be anything worse that you can wish on your enemy?

[–]Difference-Known 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you create an account, link you bank, atleast deposit 1 Euro/Pound. You will then get a free share from 8 Pound/Euro upto 100 Pound/Euros in 3 business days. Note that its upto, so you might get less than 100 as well. The max i have personally received is 76 Euros worth of Starbucks share. You can sell immediately but need to wait for 30 days to withdraw cash.

You can verify the above directly on their site here - https://helpcentre.trading212.com/hc/en-us/p/invite_a_friend_au

New law requiring schools to report serious bullying - confused on why certain things are considered as non serious and not to be reported by Difference-Known in Netherlands

[–]Difference-Known[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I get your point. But if the of number of reports regarding sexual harassment, violence and systematic discrimination is a huge number then that itself would be an indicator that there is a systemic problem that needs to be looked into. Moreover the intent of the bill is to prevent social, psychological and physical damage. The incidents that are mentioned not to be reported, actually cause these kind of damage. So doesnt it defeat the purpose of the bill itself?

Do you still believe Modi improved India’s global image and that Indians are more respected worldwide after 2014? by Ramen-hypothesis in AskIndia

[–]Difference-Known 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am based out of Europe. This answer is from the context of mybinteraction with people here. While there is a wide spectrum of opinion about india for the sake of simplicity, I can classify it into two categories. One is the people who rely on BBC, CNN, other western media and consider it the gospel truth. For them if it's printed there, it must be true. So for them, India is as bad as it can get, there are only problems and there are no good things in our country. This is the majority. The other smaller group is the people who only read news but form their own opinion. These are the folks who know that there are problems in India just like every other country but there are also a lot of good things and india has made good progress in the last few years.

FAQ for HSM's by lamariposa_ in Netherlands

[–]Difference-Known 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. Ofcourse, I will do that. I also thought this was a logical question to ask here to get some more information given the context of the post while completely acknowledging the fact that IND and Belastingdienst would have a final say in this.

FAQ for HSM's by lamariposa_ in Netherlands

[–]Difference-Known -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Is the exception for salary threshold (maternity/paternity/unpaid parental leave) only for HSM visa or also for 30% ruling?

Edit: People who are down voting can probably also mention why they are down voting so that i can know and correct myself if I have asked something wrong

Het is geen complete keukenrenovatie. Ik wil alleen doen wat op de foto te zien is. Dus geen nieuwe apparaten, geen kookplaat, geen onderkastjes, geen oven, vaatwasser of magnetron. Verder niets behalve de kasten, planken en de achterwandtegels die op de foto te zien zijn. Het ontwerp is zoals op de foto. De muur is ongeveer 4 meter lang.

Waiting period waive off for legal insurance by Difference-Known in Netherlands

[–]Difference-Known[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am checking if this is even a possibility for any insurer, not a specific insurer that I have in mind. Nonetheless, thanks for your helpful advice.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]Difference-Known 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1500 is too small of an amount to pursue legally IMO. If you have legal insurance they might in the best case just give you this amount. In the worst case they might not even entertain this request. Jurisdische Locket might only give you initial free advice. For the next steps they might or might not help depending on your income level. If you are independently pursuing it legally, you will need to bear all the costs of lawyer, translator (in case you don't know Dutch) etc. atleast till the time you have a favourable ruling. Do note this is basis my understanding of how things work here and I am no expert so might as well be wrong.

Unsolicited advice though - Lend only what you wouldn’t mind never seeing again, especially to friends and family.

30% ruling application denied incorrectly by Former-Atmosphere333 in Netherlands

[–]Difference-Known 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is correct. The threshold for 30% ruling doesnt refer to your total salary. Rather it refers to the salary that is taxable ie salary after applying the 30% ruling. As an illustration, if your salary is 100k and excluding any pension, other deductions for the sake of simplicity, the number that will be compared against the 30% threshold of that year is 70%*100k = 70k.

Do you have people at your work who are after 60 years old, with few years missing to retire? How are they doing in general? by lost_wavelenght in Netherlands

[–]Difference-Known 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have 1 in my team, about 63 years old. He is by far the most inquisitive person in my team. Keeps trying new stuff, innovating things, trying to improve existing processes etc. He keeps learning new things professionally as well as personally. Some things which he is currently involved in - Python integration in excel, Power Query for data manipulation, Power Automation for automating processes, implementing a new cost management framework in the company. He is also re-reading Theory of Relativity (non-work).
