In my experience, Swiss don't like criminals, unemployed people and people showing openly their religion. They negatively associate certain nationalities with stereotypes (e.g. Albanians, Maroccans etc.). If you are a representative of these groups, yes, it will be a problem. Violence towards foreigners is, compared to other countries, does not exist. Also with other nationalities, it is very different. Some people don't like Germans (that's also historically of course). However, with Germans near the boder it is often not a problem because they are more similar (and know how Swiss behave). With people from Berlin, many Swiss have not much in common. My wife is visible not Swiss and she never encountered raciscm (quite the contrary, she gets more free products at local stores than me because people recognize her). She also likes to buy tomatoes only from Switzerland. It is all how you behave in my experience. To the SVP, it is quite a different between the party and representative that are in the government. They are considered moderate due to the political system in Switzerland.

The plumbers I had were all Swiss. There is not an overproportional amount of foreigners working in this profession.

Maybe a personal analysis: It's a trend that is growing all over Europe. It's the equivalent of overtourism and a problem for the ruling parties (except the SVP that proposed it). Expect it to continue quite soon in Switzerland and other European countries (France, Germany etc.). Of course it doesn't make sense to curb immigration at 10 Mio and many know it. It was also for many a vote against the ruling parties. Although Switzerland is an immigration country, Swiss don't think this way. It's more farmer/alpine style: Welcome guests but expect them to leave again. Many Swiss also don't interact with foreigners a lot, including myself (besides at work). Many of my friends don't want to give up their prosperity. They are fairly advanced in their career and it's more about enjoying life. So for many of them it's more a rational decision than really a belief we should have more immigration. As long as I can benefit, it's good. For younger people it may be different. My wife, who is not native Swiss, was in favor. And compared to other countries, I think Xenophobia is low.

Currently also have copper and Sunrise cable. Just got the cables to the house two weeks ago. I’m now waiting for the local electricity company to get in-house installation. Everything at no costs. So yes, it’s progressing fast.

This seems a highly biased view. You could also say that because Switzerland wasn’t war raged they had a had start.

I appreciate that you described your approach. I don‘t live in Australia but because of this I still looked at it.

Congratulations on being featured in the Superhuman newsletter. Trying it out.

My two cents, although there are probably some more people qualified to answer this: Avo, Sidekiq, Gorails etc. can make a living. Why couldn’t you?

For context, this is the second voting. In the first 2021, 64% said no because the e-ID would have been administrated by private companies.

Related question: what is today‘s best solution for invoices?

A serious problem for many accounting start ups who so far faked it till it will work. In other words, they still need to do more manual labor than they thought. They will never be profitable and it will take years, if ever, until AI will substitute the local accountant.

There are rules for RoW and there are rules for the USA. Astonishing that the G7 falls in this trap again and again (for example Basel III). The US was a major driver in pillar 2 but won‘t adhere to it. Probably companies will restructure their organization to have two streams and exploit it. Despite GILTI, some US companies have low ETRs.

Indeed Geberit invented it and Toto marketed it. I have to say quite well.

For people without the resources, yes. For people that have a problem and resources, no. They pay for the best and want to be sure it‘s watertight.

Why sell it? The SNB doesn't need to sell them and yes they can hold them to maturity. They can also give a larger credit line to CS and CS can buy back all the bonds from investor that want it. At CHF 100B it's a CHF 50B - 20B capital injection.

Unfortunately other banks, too. Not something to mention specifically in this case. We must admit that banks have gone too big and need to be split up in the future.

Currently in my view the only solution. The solution with UBS is not supported by the people. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) has basically unlimited money power. Credit Suisse is not technically insolvent like Silicon Valley Bank but lacks trust in the market. The risk is too high that the contagion spreads to UBS and only defers the problem to a later date (what will we do with UBS). SNB should have already reacted much earlier and they are partly responsible for the problem (along with management and the biggest shareholder and their CHF 50B line but which they asked to be secured). It's high time to send a powerful message before Monday. And for the SNB it's easy to buy all bonds in the market at a distressed level and make a hefty return. This is better than to invest their currency reserves in the stock market. Edit: Added last two sentences.

Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes. Please don't post shallow dismissals Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That tramples curiosity. and more

Mmh, are you also describing the American goverment? Remember drug for guns?

While technically it doesn't receive tax money because it must earn a profit, it of course is partly financed by the government. Just one example: I lived in an apartment that was owned by the Swiss Post (close to the post office but a separate building ). With a AAA credit rating, it is of course cheap to buy buildings and make a profit. A regular private company couldn't do this. Well, I benefited as well as the rent was relatively cheap compared to similar apartments.

It‘s not allowed by the UCI: https://cyclingmagazine.ca/sections/news/uci-rules/ And certainly not everyone should do it.

correction: It's a referendum (oppose a law enacted by the parliament), so you need to collect 50 000 signatures. For a petition (changing the consitituion) you need 100 000. However, the vote in the parliament was quite clear. For example, in the Ständerat 43:0, so it would have been a surprise if a referendum were launched. Swiss politics is not consensus-based. However, you don't have just two parties that oppose each other. As most parties somehow play part in the government (some more, some less), destructive behavior is frowned upon unlike in other countries. That's why maybe some think it's consensus-based. Furthermore, due to the strong federal system and general culture, minorities need to be considered. Moreover, Switzerland is a small country, which makes some behavior difficult (see also destructive behavior above).

This is great! One question: How would you save best the financial statements in the DB?

If you prefer quantity over quality then probably not. Ever wondered how thousands of chickens can survive in one room. Well this chickens are probably not organic because you need to use something that illnesses dońt spread. And personally I think a chicken that canˋt walk normally is a problem.

I buy chicken at a farmer‘s market from a farmer which has different breeds and few chickens. This reduces the amount of medicine used. The chicken is so slim that my wife first complained. Of course I pay 3 times the regular price but although I donˋt earn a FAANG salary I can afford it. Just eat less! I also recommend to visit once a chicken farm and wonder why there are dead chickens. Alternatively watch some YouTube videos.

I bought the book but I haven’t managed to go through it yet. What I can tell is that some real work went into the book. I don’t intend to deploy things myself as I use Heroku and Cloud 66 but sometimes one still has to understand how things work.

Just one IP at a time but you can change every 5 Min or more if you like

I scrap government sites a lot as they don't provide apis. For mobile proxies, I use the proxidize dongles and mobinet.io (free, with Android devices). As stated in the article, with cgNAT it's basically impossible to block them as in my case, half the country couldn't access the sites anymore (if you place them in several locations and use one carrier each there).

When I lived in the States 10 years ago, my employer had to to get me an international bank account (with credit card) and a cell phone. I had to wait six months to do anything.
