I guess because various people believe different thing will happen to them when their life ends. The question is- which of those options (on what happens when life ends) is truly what's going to happen. Surely, if Bible is true you want to live such life so you are not ending up in hell, if Quran is true you do whatever it says to maximise the outcome, same for Hindu, Budha, and of course Atheism. I study this to have strong grounding on how to live, and there is scientiffic method to do this, though it requires time and effort.

> how often the company does salary reviews

result of salary review can be no raise, so this might be not very useful

> 5-10% extra pay isn't worth another 2-3 months of unemployment

imho it's not worth the risk, unless your base makes that 10% big enough to outweight the risks :)

I have never built a smartphone app myself but I know one thing, if the app is useful I'll buy it again and again to get it on my new device.

Another thought, maybe your app has the potential to be extended, you can make extensions available as addons for a fee.

I migh sound negative but when I was reading through this website it looked a bit like free energy scams to me, "stick a rod into the ground and voila, bulb is lit". drawings of magnets with two poles adjecent to the same pole- when I was attending physics course our proffesor told us that magnet would rearrange so there would be 2 poles if we tried tricks like this.. I'd like to see the 'how it's built' before I can attempt to get rid of my scepticism..

The article mentions ice building up in that old fridge, and this reminded me what I was told by a man who was fixing these things- that the condition of rubber seal and fridge not being leveled correctly can also lead to the ice buildup (if thermostat is not broken). He did not explain in deep technical details why, but said that when the fridge door is not sealing fully then the room air enters the fridge and due to different condensation point it causes moisture buildup at the coldest part. I am not sure how factual this was, since after hearing this I adjusted the fridge so the doors were always closing themselves thanks to gravity, and the ice still kept building up. I did not replace the seal though :)

I never used Android Auto, always navigated my car with phone on a phone holder :)) thanks for Organic Maps suggestion! I always felt Google did very god work on Google Maps and felt alternatives like Osmand are not as good... until recently- seeing gmaps picking weird routes for no reason, but maybe it' just my bubble.. I'll definitely give Organic Maps a try!

Also observing new apps showing up on my phone after Android update without me ever installing them made me so angry that I stopped updating my phone, you know- apps that cannot be removed or disabled.. it constantly makes me wonder what really is running in the background- I don't even have a way to reliably list those things. I'm going to sit through the list you provided and push myself to go through the last mile to actually make the move.

Interesting, I didn't know there is such thing on Li! Is this done by past employers?

Thank you for taking your time to list all the options!

I have no requirement to use apps other than calls, navigation, something to let me view pdf, take photos and maybe browse HN :) (already a big bunch)

I know this is side topic but if buying the Android or iPhone hardware gives us hardware we don't control, then what alternatives we realistically have? I do own pinephone (and I was recently reading that they kinda staled with development of new phones hardware), I know about librem.. is there anything else on the market?

There was a time I was thinking in similar vibes, but came to realization this is actually oversimplification.

1. if there are jobs offering high pay, and there are people who get them- these jobs are not overpaid, clearly some people want to pay high and there are other people who deliver (and of course there are other who fake it, but it's not a norm)

2. not all people are equal, and not all jobs are equal, and just because 'it feels unfair' does not mean it is unfair. Sure, there are different levels of programmers but I personally have seen people who deserve every penny of their pay, because they produce stuff 99.99% people won't be able to produce no matter how hard they want to be in that league

3. Education is investment people make because they see it opens some doors that are otherwise closed- looking at job descriptions in my area, most well paid jobs require some form of paper from applicants- it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, it's state of reality (and sure, there are other jobs where paper is not needed, my point is that with the paper more doors are opened)

4. in case of original poster, the problem might be different- partially because of the target audience and partially because of local reality. In early stage of developed countries nepothism is a huge problem, so I sympathetise with the poster as I know this first hand. I dare to say, having college degree puts him in much better situation than most of the population and the game is to be patient.

> If this gets pushed through, you will gradually lose control of your government

A little bit off-topic but so called president of the EU is not elected, nor are the figures in so called EU commission :)

I am not american and for various reasons I am not fan of current White House occupant.

Having said this, I find it weird people calling some govt facist (and by extension socialist), my observation is all of them are- reading Gramchi's facist manifesto, he says (from memory so not word to word): everything in state, nothing outside of state, nothing against the state. To my knowledge whole world is now ran by this principle, we are forced to be part of the system and pay taxes, we will be punished if we don't.

Taking this under account I come to sad conclusion that it's difficult to find a country that is not facist, certainly not the EU (a.k.a. another "thinker" Spinelli who came with his own communist manifesto which was adopted as EU's cornerstone, one of the main EU buildings carries his name), not the country I live in, I don't know about real USA posture but I guess it's similar- try to hire somebody or be hired without letting the state know and you'll face massive problems.

Treat others the way you want to be treated. Even when competing you should not cheat, lie, steal or otherwise commit wrong-doing.

You obviously are against that 'one sect', but natural law IS the thing. This is what most people consider to be the norm that governs how we behave. It's not written down, it's what you know is right or wrong. Let me give you some examples:

- Raping woman on the street - wrong

- Giving starving person some food - good

- Stealing from your employer - wrong (unless you are not paid or cheated)

- Killing random person - wrong

- Caring for your spause and children - good

and the list goes on

And the general rule, written down by 'that sect' in their book is 'love your neighbor as you love yourself', you should prefer to live among people who really apply this in their life, whenever you share their beliefs or not, because it's so much easier to live among such people than to live among selfish people who will not hesitate to harm you if only their actions go unpunished.
