Maybe we are talking about different things, but you can definitely pre-fill your tax form with employer and social security data in Germany. In that case, you only have to add information if you want to claim deductions higher than the "Werbungskostenpauschale".
Things usually only get difficult when you are self-employed or have difficult deductions.
Actually there is. There is a certain chance that you're unhappy with your fridge and you'll return it. So the assumption is that you are more likely to buy a different fridge than any other item. That's why they show you other fridges.
Very interesting. Looks a lot like zeebe [0], which uses BPMN for the workflow definition. This makes it easier to communicate the processes with the rest of the company. I never used it in production, just played around with it for a demo.
They don’t need verification. In theory, you are supposed to have a direct debit mandate, but that is basically just a click.
If you want to take out a direct debit you need to be registered though, the process isn’t trivial and you need to deposit a security that can be used for a dispute. That makes it rather unlikely that the system is abused - though not impossible.
1) Free apps with advertisements. Paid apps are by far the minority.
2) I guess this statement is related to subscription models like spotify. If you acquire the user outside of the apple ecosystem and they subscribe on your own website and then download your free app from the app store, you get to keep 100% on the revenue that the user generates as well.
That’s not the experience I have with AWS. They are really trying to help you get the most out of their platform - including costs.
I’m not saying their pricing is not confusing, but the account managers and sales engineers I’ve worked with always did a good job navigating us through it - and being honest when something can be achieved a lot cheaper.
Better have a customer optimize their usage, pay less, be happy, and stick with AWS than switching to a different platform.
This is along the lines of "Ha, taking half the day off, are we?" when somebody leaves a little bit earlier than usual. It sounds like (just) a bad joke, but it has severe consequences for your working relationship.
I get that it's tempting to make jokes when you start managing for your old team members. Just accept the fact that you've switched positions and that your relationship will change. It will only make it more awkward if you don't.
I've been running a raspberry 3 with a cheap sandisk sd card for years now without any SD Card issues. It runs a DNS based ad-blocker and a vpn.
I am logging everything to ram instead of writing it to the card and that's about it. I never encountered any issue with SD Card reliability, despite me sometimes just pulling the plug instead of properly shutting it down.
I do have a couple of other raspberries for other uses (e.g. a small rc car) which are also running on their first SD card. Might be just luck, but I do think that it's not necessary to go to extreme lengths to have them run reliably.
I believe the reply was focussed towards the gig economy and the use of venture capital to scale aggressively.
I agree with a lot of points op is making, but when it comes to e.g. the gig economy and using vc funds to scale b2c businesses by undercutting competitors, I'm very happy that we have a different situation in Germany.
Actually you can. A few years ago, when paying with a German bank card, very often the transaction was turned into a direct debit transaction, because they used to be cheaper.
This used to be very common in supermarkets. Every time you had to sign the receipt this was happening. It's not as common nowadays as the fees are now more or less the same.
Please also check this twitter thread, according to the Medical University of Vienna and the German Robert Koch Institute this is not confirmed. WhatsApp messages with a similar message (and a “quote” of the Medical University of Vienna) are deemed to be fake news.
If you need more than 2TB it's quite likely that you are using the product in a professional context. Thus, they are able to charge more. The smaller tiers are cheap to be attractive to end consumers.
There are a few things mentioned in [0] and [1], unfortunately in german:
- The contracts are based on Irish law and contain rules that violate German employment laws.
- They have to pay for water on the flight, in addition to lots of other things (e.g. health checks, mandatory simulator hours). These costs can sometimes be deducted, but they argue the airline should pay for it in the first place.
- When they are sick, they have to come to the office/airport and state their symptoms in writing.
- Lots of Pilots are hired as contractors, not as full time employees. That would also violate German employment laws.
