We've done them before in Amsterdam.

Oh believe me... Coming from the US, the summer between my first and second year, I was compensated 5k for three months of work. When I first heard what was standard in NL I was shocked. Then again, I was also paying 50k per semester for school, soooo yeah, take your pick haha. I wouldn't say slavery, more like indentured servitude. Anyways, I make it my personal goal to give our interns as much of mine and our senior devs' time as possible, as well as support after their internship is over.

Just want to point out that often the interns will receive additional compensation from their programs. When we hire interns from Erasmus+, they are given 500 euro from us, as well as 500 euro from their program. Additionally, Erasmus students are eligible for student housing from UvA or the VU. Finally, because they are in a special class, as interns, here in NL, we can actually get in trouble with the government for paying them more than 500 euro. It sounds to me like your management team isn't giving them the resources they need to survive in the city, but know that they are there. We have taken on four interns over the past two years, and after their internships placed them at large companies like Trivago and Elsevier, hired one on fulltime, and are working with the last to land a job in his preffered location. With the proper mentorship, it can be a great deal for students! If you are looking for a company where you are expected to mentor the junior devs and interns, send me a DM and we can see if you would be a good fit :)

You should check out MessagEase keyboard. It is so accurate for me that I don't even need corrections. It takes a little bit of time to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's super fast.

I think it is more likely that he was in a wetsuit... Dry suits aren't measured in thickness since the purpose is to just keep the water out, as opposed to providing insulation like a wetsuit. Most divers wear a wetsuit unless they are in particularly cold water.

It isn't that the more experienced ones wear drysuits, it is that they are diving in colder water, which requires more experience + a dry suit.

Any suggestion as to where to buy one? amazon.de?

Been there :/ I'm not sure what it is, but it seems like hotel keycards are quite low quality devices, because it doesn't happen with credit cards.

The trick is that when the magnet vibrates, it stimulates the same nerve endings that are picking up the vibration of your fingerprint ridges rubbing over something. After a little integration period, the sensation is similar to a very light touch running over the fingertip. I don't know if a ring would produce the same sensation.

I quite enjoy the experience.

I've had one for the past four years now. I'm an active climber and sailor, and never once has it interfered in my day to day life. The benefits include being able to sort of feel your way around the equipotential lines of an alternating magnetic field. The worst thing that has happened to me was about two weeks into having the implant, I brought my finger to close to a strong magnet used in a menu to stick it to the wall. The magnet in my finger(which is shaped like a small tic-tac) did a 180 under my skin. Ouch.

It has, think about natural camouflage like zebras. It short circuits the predators ability to pick out individual herd members.

Pretty sure that if you read a little further, you will find that the author decided to NOT go with the TOS violating process, and instead used an official MTA API.

Go to jail? I think that is a little bit harsh considering the crimes committed. When will America stop being so damn protestant when it comes to punishment?
