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 sc

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 stude

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.

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 ligh

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 alte

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?

I think you are missing the point. It isn't that business travelers need their laptops during the flight, but that most don't check any luggage at all. When I was flying for business, I only traveled with hand luggage. No need to

Man, I have to ask if you even read past the first sentence of my comment... Yes, I'm sure that the homicide rate of Rotterdam may be higher than some podunk midwestern town. What I said though, is that I feel safer living in Amsterdam

It depends on your security requirements as well. Some people feel the need for end to end encryption as opposed to SSL termination at the load-balancer tier. If you are one of those people, letsencrypt is the way to go
