30% income tax is the marginal rate.

On your 30k, you get 1925€ per month (23k/yr) after corporate tax/social security etc. We call this "net" even though income tax is due on top of that.

For income tax, you pay taxes according to the following brackets (on yearly income) :

- 0€ to 9700€ : 0%

- 9701€ to 26791€ : 14%

- 26791€ to 71826€ : 30%

That means for a single person with no children, you pay an incone tax of 234€/yr, or 20€/month.

My use case for this will be the switch from French Azerty to Chinese Qwerty (bilingual speaker). I would buy this in a heartbeat if it had an attached numpad.

"depuis quelques mois, nous avons eu plusieurs affaires juridiques lié à l'utilisation de plusieurs réseaux TOR dans le cas de la pedo et on va désormais l'interdire au même titre que tous les systèmes d'anonymisation. Cela augmente l'utilisation frauduleuse de notre réseau et le nombre de réquisition juridique chaque mois"

"starting a few months back, we've had an number of legal cases regarding the use of multiple TOR networks for pedo, and we will forbid its use from now on, the same way we forbid all anonymisation systems. It raises the number of fraudulent uses of our network and the number of subpoenas each month"

I guess it means both.

I always feel it's kind of a pain to type in a smartphone, especially URLs where autocorrect can't work.

m.tcl.fr/123 wouldn't take so long I guess, but to me it feels more annoying than opening the app (which is on my second screen) and clicking on the "scan" button.

I saw one use of the QR code that impressed me: in my city (Lyon, France), on bus stops, there are QR codes. Following them leads to a web page where you get the waiting time for the next buses. This is a quick and cheap way to display the waiting time without adding hardware to the bus stops.

The only good point I see for the QR code is that it makes it easier to get to a webpage. That made perfect use of it.

Quick math:

This means that about 975 VP or higher are being laid off. Assuming that you are right about it being half their VP+, it means that one person in 37 is (before layoffs) VP at Cisco.

I haven't work in such large firms, but it seems excessive to call VP someone who is in charge of 30 people, no?

Nitpicking : Jinan is a city, not a province. It's the capital of the Shandong province.

More relevant, it's one of the three largest military centers in China, which I'm guessing is why the attacks stem from there. This does lend credence to the idea of a government sanctioned operation.

However, Jinan is also the home to one of the top computer science schools and software engineering colleges in China, so it could be just student hackers I guess (though I'm not convinced).

My father used to tell me I should have around 15K€ around in case of emergency. Less at the beginning of my career of course.

I have trouble seeing 2K as a lot: I don't think it could cover real emergencies (losing a job, emergency in my family overseas...)
