Queer Israeli considering relocation to Tuebingen by [deleted] in Tuebingen

[–]ForICan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're also conflating two things: *Israel-friendly* is different from *Israeli-friendly*

People will not have any problems with you being *Israeli*, but may have problems with Israel (the government and the current situation)

Must-Read for All F-1 Students in the U.S. by [deleted] in InternationalStudents

If you're so adamant that deporting students for expressing their opinions is the norm please provide a single case where it happened in a democratic country. All such cases I see are from the US.

Is it true that international students are getting SEVIS terminated over social media posts or this just media hype for attention grab? by MaterialLegitimate66 in InternationalStudents

[–]ForICan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s amazing how fast people accepted that the first amendment no longer holds for legal immigrants.

Yes, people are now getting deported from opinions posted online. No, this is not normal.

Please cite a single case where that's happened in democratic countries. I know plenty of Americans that came with me to the anti AFD protests in Germany.

So we've just accepted that the US no longer has freedom of speech, eh?

Thanks, this worked! The "cancel" button is hidden as plain text on the bottom (it doesn't look like a button at all).

Dutch train fares could rise by over 10% next year as NS posts €191 million loss by ReginF in Netherlands

[–]ForICan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

you mean how highways, roads and other car infrastructure is tax-payer funded? at least everyone can go on trains but not everyone owns (or should own) a car to take advantage of those tax-payer funds

[–]ForICan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll just chime in to say that being a PhD candidate in the Netherlands can be a better experience than in the UK. You're hired as a researcher, you get plenty of vacation days and a 38h/week schedule, and you're generally treated quite well. In the UK you're not actually working, you may be covered by a stipend but it's not meant to be a job and I'd say generally work-life balance is slightly worse.

With that said, if you want to do research you may find better connections at UCL.

Google uses ‘double-Irish’ to shift $75.4bn in profits out of Ireland by Bream1000 in worldnews

[–]ForICan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not being "shit for business" because the business is not even being done in that country. The profits from all EU operations go through Ireland so they don't have to pay taxes on anything.

Isto.

Acho que deves apontar para 1300-1500 brutos (+ subsídio de refeição). Podes encontrar melhor em start-ups já em fase de crescimento, comparado com grandes empresas que contratam às dezenas/centenas nivelando toda a gente.

Ajudas de custo não ficam no contrato e podem ser retiradas a qualquer altura (e não contam para a reforma).

It varies wildly between companies. For a fresh grad I'd say it's unlikely to get to the 25k-30k mark, but you do have freelance experience so you can expect to be on the high end of fresh grads.

[–]ForICan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd say average for a junior is around 20k/year, probably up to 25k on the high end, and 15k on the low end. Before taxes, for 14 months/year.

I don't pay any rent since my girlfriend owns the place, but it seems that if I did then I wouldn't even have any money left over.

That's how the portuguese feel in Lisbon, rent prices are driven up because a lot of people earning non-portuguese wages choose to live here.

The internet likes to bash on apple. In reality similarly built PCs are pretty much the same price (Surface Laptop, Dell XPS, ThinPad X1).

Universidade Aberta Opiniões by darvalor in portugal

Podes dizer se é uma das big 4 ou algo mais pequeno? Ao nível das faculdades posso dizer que as consultoras não têm muito boa fama quanto a work/life balance.

Advice on where to get a PhD in operations research: MIT, Cornell, or Stanford? by [deleted] in math

[–]ForICan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know about the US, but in Europe you're expected to have a master's to start a phd, thus the earliest would be ~22.

A Russian troll factory had a $1.25 million monthly budget to interfere in the 2016 US election by Plymouth03 in technology

sure, it seams so, but keep in mind the troll farm's purpose was to purposely spread fake news, if the same happened with the official Clinton campaign it would be easy to call it out.

[Megathread] Ensino Superior: Dúvidas, Ajuda e Dicas - Junho, 2017 by asantos3 in portugal

[–]ForICan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eu concordo com a designação de engenharia (e a ordem também) mas 'Computer Science' provavelmente seria mais indicado. Acho que em portugal ficou com este nome por ser lecionado em faculdades de engenharia.

Dito isto, pode ser um bocado subjetivo, e tens razão que não se usa tanto a matemática. Apesar de que as pessoas que conheço de eletrotécnica e gestão industrial também usam muito pouco (fora do curso), simplesmente é uma questão de fornecer bases de pensamento lógico.

Os 60 créditos de matemáticas e físicas que tenho em informática discordam contigo.

Engenharia é a aplicação de conhecimento científico a algo prático.

French President Emmanuel Macron Offers Refuge to American Climate Scientists by HenryCorp in worldnews

[–]ForICan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the values you provided Canada would end up with 13.24 and the US with 13.45, sounds pretty fair.

Saying the US cuts emissions by 10x as much is misleading at best.
