Not really sure the point that you're trying to make here. You seem to be implying that anyone living anywhere in Ukraine (such as Kyiv) is under constant threat of getting bombed by Russia, while jjjei3 is saying that Ukraine is relatively safe.

If you're so sure its so dangerous there, maybe you can pull up statistics about number/rate of shooting deaths there compared to the US?


I think what you're doing is called "sea-lioning" online. I mentioned numerous ways in which living in Ukraine misses basic first-world standards. Then you come along and say, no-no-no, you need to demonstrate this other statistic that I find more interesting.


100 people were murdered in Chicago in July (just one month) last year so does it mean US as a whole is dangerous? No, my suburban town had zero murders for last 4 years, there was one homicide in 2016 (domestic dispute) and then no murders for 10 years before that. On the other hand it’s unclear which one is safer - South Chicago or Kabul.

Donbass in Ukraine is dangerous and a no go war zone. Downtown Kiev/Lviv are peaceful and have an excellent quality of life with amazing restaurants and nightlife.

You can’t average big countries.


Oh for goodness sake... there were government snipers shooting dozens of people in broad daylight in Kyiv just 6 years ago.

"a system that will automatically sin up a github project with a pull-request to review, or an issue to fix. Further test-types are planned but I will launch with these two. No matter the skill level of an IC engineer, they will need to carry out effective code reviews and fix bugs. I think that the PR test will be good for senior candidates while the bug fix test will be good for junior - mid-level engineers."


Not trying to attack you, but I'm curious why you want to move to Spain when in this comment you say you really prefer the US way of operating surrounding the pandemic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26215169


Just in case the new administration adds restrictions that make it worse (ex: curfew), I'm considering alternatives.


Spain has curfews in many regions right now. I believe Mexico has no restrictions, why not there?



Americans do need to quarantine upon return to the US, although I'm not sure how much enforcement there is:

Did your US company pay you as a contractor? Set up a foreign entity in your country to pay you? How did you get paid by American company, legally, while in a European country?


> being able to work remotely in the EU for a US based company is a huge deal. I just have to get the US based employer to agree to use a payroll company as an intermediary to deal with payroll taxes

Can you expand on this point? Fellow US-EU dual citizen and cultural American here, looking to do the same thing, for similar health reasons.


Croatia will be joining the EU in 2023 afaik.

edit: seeing multiple other comments here that is already a member so I guess I am mistaken


It will join the Schengen area next. Also it plans to adopt the euro in 2023.


You don't think setting a reminder in your calendar for 2 years from now would suffice?


It's too much clicks away, it's should be a matter of one click


Surely this is more a deficit in your calendar software than it is anything else? Think of all of the work you could waste making new tooling, trying to replace something that already exists and serves the sole purpose of reminding you about things


I don't see GP suggesting that anywhere in their comment?
