I don't know about Europe, but in the US, there are various social safety nets that work perfectly with early retirement with some planning (a topic which comes up in "povertyFIRE" circles). There's been a shift (especially in Democrat-run states) over the last decade or two toward getting rid of asset tests for subsidies, so with planning you can get things like free healthcare, reduced electricity bills, free internet, subsidized home renovations for energy efficiency, etc. while having your assets grow in tax-shielded retirement accounts. Universities for your kids generally have asset tests for subsidies, but many of them exclude your home+retirement accounts.

e.g. in New York state, this is available:

You can also switch to part-time in a low-stress role rather than retire completely ("baristaFIRE" or "coastFIRE"). The trick is that you don't want health benefits from your employer so that you can get much better ones from the state instead. Usually part-time doesn't qualify for benefits so that works well.

i'm using azure, aws and gcp at work and personal projects. i recommend azure for better management UX and relatively transparent cost and billing management. once you setup your infrastructure as code you can move anything but the vendor specific services easily. Azure AD is easy to migrate from, API gateway not so much.
I'd imagine you'd end up under paying in poorer areas where performance is generally lower and needs are higher. AFAIK performance is generally more tied to parents (involvement, class, etc) than to teachers. Interesting anecdote on teachers throwing things at students, here in Oregon its usually the opposite case we hear people complaining about.
Before Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs), diabetics would need to draw blood from a finger prick and use that with a glucometer to measure blood glucose levels or pee on a test strip.

These ways are still widely used but they still require a secondary device (a glucometer, or test strips) and also lead to much less frequent readings. This means that high and low blood sugars were more difficult to detect and correct.

Because you get far fewer readings (unless you're pricking your fingers every 5 minutes) there are very real health consequences. Having a high blood sugar for too long (oops, that apple had more carbohydrates in it than expected) can lead to nerve damage and blindness in the long term and potentially fatal diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in the immediate term. There are similar negative outcomes for low blood glucose levels.

Before CGMs people managed T1D but the short and long term health outcomes were/are much worse and the risk of death due to undiagnosed hyper/hypoglycemia was also much higher. Of course, we still carry glucometers and urine test strips (very inaccurate + coarse measurement) everywhere we go and the school has these as well.

The IRS doesn't want your tax dollars, they are just the mechanism by which the federal government enforces tax collection according to the law.

I've gotten refunded by the IRS for taxes they found that I overpaid years ago. Neither I nor my accountant did anything to initiate that. I'm not alone in getting an unprompted refund.

Totally, which is why Colorado is producing less and less food. I mean towns sprouted up where people settled and people settled to grow food, so this has been happening in Colorado since farming began here. As a result the land left for farming is getting worse and worse. The good spots have all been paved.

But say we have to keep that, my next question is, what's the tax haul for a house compared to an apartment complex? Cities out here will choose the former as much as they can, increasing sprawl, because "quality of life."

> continued software support

Unfortunately due to the extremely minimal software rights that exist (see: proprietary software) this is pretty much nonexistent in cars AFAIK.

I would rather get a car that is old enough to not be limited by software constraints. Which is pretty disappointing, because I actually really like electric cars. I think they would work well for my needs. But they are all so intentionally kneecapped, I have no interest in any particular model that's available.
Overall like it, so take this as friendly suggestions because I like it and would love it to get better:

While I can get using the EU flag, which is also the Council of Europe flag, for Europe, it really makes it unclear whether the jobs listed as "Europe" are EU only (or maybe EEA?), all of Europe, and which countries are included... It'd be good to make that clearer. Somehow. Europe is difficult.

E.g. one job marked as Europe lists UK as a location they have staff, while another lists EU specifically in location.

Also: Currencies matter. While I'd happily work for a US (or EU) company, and have before, my salary expectations would be much higher if the salary is *actually denominated in USD (which I have done once), because of the currency risk I'd incur... As a shortcut while launching it's fine, but if you're going to grow this outside the US you'll need for people to be able to know what currencies are "on offer".

For similar reasons, you'd also want it to be clear to people which country they'd be employed "from". A lot of places it'll complicate things if the entity you're hired by does not have a local company for you to formally sign an employment contract with, so I'd want to know. E.g. if I'm going to sign up with a US company (I'm available; see profile) I'd generally just as well contract via my limited company instead as being hired by one gives me few benefits over just contracting, while conversely being hired by a UK company gives me (eventually, anyway) assorted legal protections that make it preferable to a contract unless the contract rate is much higher than the salary.
That sounds like you are agreeing with the post you are replying to: the IRS is trying very hard to stick to their rules. You have a deduction that neither you nor the IRS have paperwork for (since the fund is not acknowledging it as a covered expense), so they are following the rules.

I can understand how you are frustrated about the situation, but this does not seem to me to be random behavior, but rather straightforward rule following.
`cat file > /dev/com1`, or something like that.

I use Teams for work and to my knowledge it does not have persistant voice/video chats. You have to deliberately start a call and invite people. That's not the same and doesn't lend itself near as well to facilitating online hangouts. It makes sense for a business setting, but not so much in a more personal setting.

The data related to the object being returned.

This sounds like a facetiously-simple answer, but it's entirely earnest. If the data properly belongs as a property of the object, return it in the object's representation. If the "data" is actually an ID of a related object, return that id (or, better yet, the URL at which to find information about that object) as a link.

One thing this report fails to include is the total compensation package of teachers.

It varies state to state and district to district, but in general teachers get very good healthcare plans and a pension. When I compared notes with my teacher friend, I found that his benefits package would be worth about $15k a year (assuming the pension plan is well run). And let's not forget they only work 180 days a year.

While inflation has not been kind to their salary gains, it has been very kind to the pension gains. So the total compensation package has probably not changed much.

Yes, and another super cool thing is the prevention of accidental screwups where someone typos their email. If the typo collides with an existing account after normalization, it could be (correctly) rejected. Without this normalization index, you could have ronx@gmail pre-existing, someone trying to type "rob.x" typos "ron.x" -- and now a bunch of emails start going out to poor "ronx" (who often doesn't understand what's going on, thinks his account is 'hacked,' etc. Ideally, the system would (for Gmail addresses) reject "ron.x" knowing it's basically tied to an existing user.

Hey!

Thanks for the feedback and I am actually very happy to hear that, given that one of my strongest skills is that I'm generally very nice to work with. That was actually the one piece of feedback I got in the original rejection mail, that all the interviewers had said that I had been great to chat with and that they hoped I applied in the future. The reason given when I called was specifically that I didn't reach their technical bar.

It's actually you funny you raise it, because we spent the last parts of the second interview talking about how important interpersonal relations was and how we both, me and the interviewer, were surprised by how many people in IT undervalue the skill.

Regardless, taking the third person point of view is always difficult and I appreciate your insight!
Well:

>3,500 school districts (28.6%), employing nearly 300,000 teachers still offer a starting salary below $40,000.

>They also say "23.2% of school districts pay beginning teachers a salary of at least $50,000. These districts employ nearly 1.3 million (42%) teachers."

That is, it's not just long-time versus new teachers, it's district to district: not all districts are the same size and some big districts pay better.

Average salary also seems to correspond pretty well to blue-state-ness in the top 10, with the exception of Alaska, for obvious reasons.
Scaling back lifestyles is politically hard, at least if you don’t want the populist hard right to take over.

Switching to carbon free energy is another option, there are hurdles to cross which depend on what you are trying to do. Attaching solar to the electrical grid is easy, for instance, storage to get through the night is within sight but still under development. Processes like making steel and concrete are a different thing. Aviation yet another. One of the most favorable places to capture carbon is the output of an oil refinery where they burn 10-20% of the petroleum to run the process, you could use nuclear or solar energy for some of that (green hydrogen) and store all the CO2.
The people who are downvoting my "disagree" are likely assuming that I am speaking philosophically. I'm not. Philosophically, sure: the purpose of the government is to serve the people. A philosophy written specifically for the consumption of people. But now I'm speaking about its practical purpose. What a system produces is always its purpose.
Kudos for shipping a product! I like the selling point of "$100K+ remote dev jobs".

Arguably a $100K+ is what someone in the US would assume to be the case in the first place, but still it hits the nail on the head being *exactly* what many people outside the US (and maybe a few more countries with similarly high salaries), including me, would want.

i.e, from the perspective of someone outside US: 'Now that remote work has put all potential candidates in the pool, let's also put all the salaries in the pool'.

Not necessarily. Lots of governments and unions have negotiated reduced defined benefit pensions for newer (re:younger) workers.
Simple assignments that should be doable without using google or any external sources. Just fire up an IDE and solve a problem while someone watches. So many fail.
Sure, and that is an economic problem for the state/county or whoever sets the paybands to figure out. My usage of "underpaid" is more about individuals self reporting on being underpaid. Teachers are probably the #1 group of workers I hear frequently complaining about being underpaid. I would have guessed they were getting paid like $40k on average based on the complaints.

> new teachers are getting paid a pittance?

New teachers can more easily move to where there is better pay/demand for teachers. So I think they tend to balance out a bit.

In our district, starting teacher salary is $59k and so we see a lot of young teachers.

Canadian citizens can work for a US based company under a TN visa. You would still need a work visa for the country you work "in" - and the TN would be applicable.
