I love this idea! I'll give it a shot.

I'm sorry to hear about your illness, I hope you're doing better now.

Personally I have found the market to be quite good recently, at least based on my LinkedIn inbound.

Something that might help is to condense your resume to 1-2 pages. There's a lot of detail in your resume and it's quite difficult to understand it at a glance.

Other than that it can help to reach out directly to people at a company your interested in working through LinkedIn rather than applying through forms. Having a coffee or online chat can open doors.

Based on your experience I'm also assuming that you've got a considerable network. Can you reach out to people you've enjoyed working with in the past?

I’m not saying that everyone in the Netherlands agrees with me. I’m just illustrating that it’s perfectly possible to live in a city like Paris or Amsterdam with a family and without a car.

What you’re describing is perfectly possible without a car.

I live in Amsterdam and have a young family. We own an electric cargo bike that we use for groceries and to cart around our daughter. You can use it with an infant car seat and for larger kids.

When we need a car we use a car sharing app. There are around 10 cars within walking distance of our flat.

Many people in cities _want_ a car but don’t need one.

Luckily we have the sovereignty to regulate our own market.

Can't believe they shut down https://skiff.com/mail for a Gmail client :( I was a happy user of Skiff before Notion bought them.

An important distinction is that US and EU interests aligned on many important areas up until recently. So it was less of a subservient relationship, and more of a mutually beneficial one. Now that the US wants to turn it into a subservient relationship, the EU is naturally looking for other options.

Many tools that increase your productivity as a developer take a while to master. For example, it takes a while to become proficient with a debugger, but I'd still wager that it's worth it to learn to use a debugger over just relying on print debugging.

As the car is sold outside of North America (with a promise of FSD) , you don't think it's fair to expect it to recognise the speed limit signs in the country that the car is sold?

The assumption that neobanks always use a sponsor bank is false. Most European neobanks have a full banking license.

I'm on board with assuming that the intent of Google / the engineers who built the classifier is not racist. However the outcome — labelling a black person as a gorilla — certainly is racist. What makes you think otherwise?
