There are plenty of elder Swiss who’d gladly work if they only had the opportunity but are ausgesteuert instead, so there can be no argument about not being able to find the natives to do the work. Finding someone malleable and willing to work for peanuts is the issue here, not a lack of qualified domestic work force.

The 7000 contingency limit clause for EU citizens has been triggered, and we know how the last referendum went. Foreigners are a burning topic. Try getting a B-permit from outside of Switzerland; it’s akin to winning the lottery. Whoever got in, got in. The way is shut, and the Swiss keep it.

If it's important for your company, then why is doing this job not part of their performance?! Of course they don't want to do it if it just takes away from duties they're judged on.
Just remember the caveat with the ELI5 explanation is that if I tell you the first two points on a parabola are (0,0) and (1,0) you will figure that the third point is more likely to be around (2,0) than, say, (2,2^30).
How To Build an Extraordinary Team Culture
Neat, how about an ongoing preview that fills in?
They make two main points:

> By implementing the SSA with a kernel module, developers who wish to use it do not have to link with any additional userspace libraries.

It's not clear why this is a major problem to begin with, but socket() and friends are part of libc, which would be the natural place for something using this type of interface and would then already be linked.

> Adding TLS to the Linux kernel as an Internet protocol allows the SSA to leverage the existing separation
of the system call boundary.

The main benefit of this (as they mention) is to separate access to the private key(s). But that could be done for only the private key (signing operation) instead of the entire TLS protocol and would then be generically useful, e.g. for non-TLS protocols that require signing, would provide a standard interface in case you have a HSM, and could be used by a libc implementation or any other TLS implementation.

Sound Shelter is a vinyl marketplace that connects records buyers with small independent record stores.

Revenue comes from a mixture of affiliate sales and subscriptions from records stores listing their inventory.

Building a two-sided marketplace is a lot more challenging than I had expected but definitely rewarding when the users find the rare record they probably wouldn't have ever found.

Note also that requiring a password for sudo might have some issues, as the password is sent over the ssh connection as you type. I'm not sure what the state of the art is wrt counting and guessing characters - or if mossh makes the problem worse - or helps. For the general idea, see:

There are no real issues. Belgians and Dutch get along fine. It’s mostly seen as a fun, quaint relic and as mentioned below is a bit of a tourist attraction.
Another great example of why the EU sucks.

No competition for better governance = high taxes and worst rules for everyone.
As the countries are very friendly and work together in almost anything, this is not a big problem in practice. Presumably some very small scale hustling is tolerated as no government official really cares. When there is an actual problem, the two governments arrange another land swap. There is one every few years. Nobody cares, it gives both our monarchs something to sign on an official visit and gets another sheer for international cooperation from the press.

If you want to have some fun, you can smoke pot while standing on the border and holding it in your left, Dutch hand. If you're really daring you swap it over to your right, Belgian hand, and congrats, you're an international drug smuggler. If a cop sees it and you're unlucky, I suppose he'll ask a few puffs from you - Yeah I saw that happen in real life, and that was in Brussels a.k.a Belgium and as far from the boundary as you can get.
Pop science, but this probably helps explain why Facebook/Snapchat/etc are so popular with the teen demographic. I'm kinda glad we didn't have any of that when I was that age.

I kept getting calls from recruiters. After 3 recruiters called me about the same position at this super large company I gave the interview a shot.

As a senior JavaScript developer with open source projects and military leadership experience I don't really have to look for jobs. I put my resume up on places like Monster or another job site. It takes about 2 two weeks for the resume to be populated to various other places and the flood of calls start coming in. The recruiters seem to indicate the placement bonus for somebody with my experience is huge so they are willing to move mountains at lightning speed for me, but really I just think they are working fast to prevent my access to other recruiters.

The total turn around time from resume update to sitting in the new office employed is about 4-5 weeks including interviews, 2 week notice, criminal background check and so forth. The good thing about that timeline is that you can escape employment, really quickly, that isn't going well with minimal financial risk. The bad thing is that if you move too fast you aren't shopping around and can miss out on something that better fits your interests.

In my case I needed to move as fast as possible. I believed I was facing a discrimination issue at the prior employer, even though the company was a great place to work and really took all appropriate steps to mitigate discrimination, and I thought my job was in peril. Instead of challenging the issue and waiting for an investigation I started looking for another job. The group that hired me is bigger than Google and has the best time off and benefits I have ever seen. They got back to me the same day I interviewed and ended up offering me a really high rate of compensation. These were also desirable perks and they were moving fast to bring me in.

I know the grass is always greener on the other side. One thing to always consider is the bigger the company the longer the time frame between project start and project publication. Larger organizations have more regulation to comply with, established services and architecture to wrestle with, and many more constituents to please. If you want greater benefits and financial security be prepared to work with a greater diversity of experience levels at a much slower average pace. If you want to move fast and live dangerously you generally have to look for employment with a less established organization.
One way would be using a funicular: The "train" is just the weight, pulled up/lowered on a cable that's connected to a motor-generator at the top.

Would also make it cheaper to build extra wagons, with a storage yard at the top and bottom.

I visited the library, and saw an advert in the local newspaper about a programming job in a neighboring city (~3 hour drive). The day I saw the ad was the deadline for sending an application, so I hurried home and threw together an application, along with my CV. After just a few days, I was asked to come in for an interview where I got a small task that I then went home and worked on the task for a day or two before sending everything back to the company. They loved both talking to me and what I had done on the task and I was offered a job just a few days later.

Don't feel bad that you didn't know SWARM (Scaling Without A Religious Methodology) because the author made it up for the article.
Pretty sure we evolved the entire tribal cocktail of behaviors specifically to do better than isolated specimens. And the current culture, as in the sum of civilization's achievements, is very much a product of those behaviors and organization permeating the everyday life.

Moreover, afaik development of language is hypothesized to be interlinked with social behaviors (and empathy as a whole), so a species of antagonists would probably have trouble establishing civilisation in the first place.
The "huge" is the problem here. In order to store any useful amount of energy, you'd need way too much. We use water because it's readily available, cheap, easy to transport, and relatively easy to store.

Concrete is already harder to transport (you need to correctly grasp, stack and release the blocks).
The safety net in Europe isn’t that great either as far as poor people go, the best I can say is that it’s better for the middle / lower middle class but the poor are just as poor.

Social services in Europe aren’t uniform either they vary greatly between states and between cities and regions within states, food, housing and transportation is much more expensive, the availability of benefits is often overblown with the only caveat being universal health care which isn’t that different for people who cannot afford it in the US if we are all honest at this point and for the middle classes private medical insurance is still the way to go for most member states.

Whoever thinks that Europe is some socialist welfare dream state is quite wrong about it.
Being poor in Europe is quite bad and I’m not sure it’s actually any better than being poor in the US.

And the lack of social mobility for the middle classes as well as the suppression of personal agency as far as financial independence goes might blow back and blow back hard.

Europe has a big problem with government income as more than 50% of it comes from taxes which means that any crisis and any issue with the tax base tends to ripple much harder over here and as far as retirement goes then it’s quite likely that most people like myself won’t be able to retire despite paying very high amounts into the retirement fund because the government keeps raising the retirement age and there is no guarantee of that our funds would even be available to us.

This is the reason why I’m currently looking for a way to completely privatize my entire retirement savings plan, I work hard I earn very well and I deposit 24% into retirement with zero guarantee of seeing anything beyond the bare minimum when I finally will be allowed to retire which at this point is probjected to be at 75-77.

So sorry fuck that I rather take more risk and be able to retire at say 50 than having to work my ass off until I can see my 80s around the corner with no guarantee of getting anything remotely close to what I put in because sharing is caring.
I was headhunted away from a long-running contract by a recruiter I'd been in touch with on and off for years. She pitched me the position, I thought "...that does sound like me," I interviewed, and got an offer.

My two favorite gigs so far I got that way (current one and a stint at MapQuest back when it was in Lancaster, PA).

Having a reasonably active GitHub profile helped, too, and has gotten me cold-contacts from people recruiting for Apple and Facebook (didn't pursue either of those because I value living near friends and family more than working for a BigCo [and have never liked Facebook since the first time I heard about it]).

I guess my recommendations would be to network and to build up a portfolio of work anyone can see. Networking gets your name in front of a lot more people than you realize, and if you have a portfolio it makes more of an impression it goes a long way towards making people want to contact you.

I'd also add to take the time to be polite even to recruiters who haven't done their research. Talking nicely to them as long as they're not just spamming form letters has been a policy of mine for years just on the grounds that they're people too and should be treated kindly.

That policy directly got me the referral to MapQuest - when I explained what kind of work I actually was interested in, the recruiter who'd ignored my skillset passed me along to a contact of hers who was looking for devs like me.

The resulting gig, while maybe not amazing by Silicon Valley standards, remains one of the best ones I've had here in central PA.

(Of course, then upper management cut the entire Lancaster office, the majority of their technical staff, but that's another story...)
It's very clear what they were saying, is that if one follows the law at all time there is no chance that a bad thing will "accidentally" happen.

You are actually the one violating that policy.
High / difficult culture like Wagner and Nietzsche?
Ahhhh. That's so sad.
The worst part of my rejections is that I cannot even pass recruiters - apparently I cannot sell myself good enough despite that I’m somewhat confident that I’ll do good at technical interviews. Looks like a common problem to introverts.
But marketers will quickly see the opportunity not to offer discounts but rather to target the sale to maximize the margin. Uber already does this by increasing fares when it detects a phone battery is dying. Someone will raise their prices at night then buy ads for drivers who are running low on fuel during that time.

< The selling point of this is low relatively low capital cost and well tested technology.

I'm sceptical of that. As the sibling comment noted, the technology is well-tested, yes but for a completely different usage pattern. You don't know how reliably construction cranes are in lifting heavy loads in back-to-back cycles, 24/7.

Additionally, I'd guess you will have to modify the cranes to realize the "recover energy" parts. I'm no expert, but I could imagine, traditional parts spend energy for both raising and lowering a weight because the design goal is reliable control of the load, not making energy. So you'd probably have to modify the motor assembly.
Give me a break. Not everybody that disagrees with you is a racist. Landlord that prefer to not have couples with children aren’t racist.

I too am confused how targeting may be illegal under a law that forbids discrimination and discriminating content of ads - I am not familiar with the law. Lack of knowledge/understanding doesn’t make me “racist”.

Some other comments in this inflammatory thread helped me get the point, but your attacks on everybody as racists-by-defaul are deeply bigoted and insulting.

My main reason for that claim is simply that I live in Britain -- anyone who has done so for a significant amount of time would know that sentiment against Muslims is is a lot more widespread than 0.1% of the population, so I don't think the claim needs defending, any more than the claim "people like sex and money" does.

My understanding is that the "shared housing" clause is still only applying to landlords, not individuals seeking a roommate.

The most successful “transformations” or running of agile projects I’ve seen have been because key people understand the value in iteration. And they organise the entire operation around being able to iterate on the product.

I’ve seen organisations do all the rituals, hold all the meetings, do certification courses but they still don’t wrap their heads around the idea of creating shippable product iterations at least once a month. They just end up dividing the work they were already going to do into arbitrary 2 week “sprints” and wonder why they’re not being efffective.

I think people imagine that mental pathologies are differences of kind, but they're actually differences of degree. Every mental pathology exists in a less intense form as a personality disorder, and even weaker as non-pathological personality traits. When we stop demonizing mental illness, it's easy to see those traits in ourselves, but the difference is in how intensely those traits negatively affect our lives.

Many people get anxious, and this causes them to look at people with anxiety disorders and think "That's like what I've got. Why don't you just pull yourself out of it?" but what they don't consider is that the difference is one of degree, not of kind.

Well, since housing discrimination is fully legal under some circumstances, I would indeed say that it is neither the spirit nor the letter of the Fair Housing Act to forbid discrimination. What is the alternative view?
Exactly. Perhaps they really only 'chose' a 2.9ghz 6-core macbook - it just happens to come with a touchbar.
It does seem sketchy, but I don't think it's nonsense. If A = B for all x, then A / (x - 1) = B / (x - 1) for x not equal to 1. You start by evaluating at x = 1 to find where A and B are equal; then, after making the two sides equal, you divide. The reason it's written in the other order is to motivate the particular choice of A and B.
Because a single crane can move blocks in a r^2 * Pi area.
(7.5m)^2 * 3.14 = 176.62m^2

Your little cuck lift per block idea doesn't work out.
Let's say you have a giant 8m * 8m block per lift. You'd still only have 64m^2 capacity.

The entire idea of a gravity battery is already infeasable from the start and this crane idea makes it a little more feasable but for some reason people like you just want to make it impossible again.
I got to visit LIGO in Louisiana a few years back. I remember they lamented that it was not as remote as they really wanted. The detector picked up nearby hunting activity, and logging activity in the woods. And they had to shut down measurements for a couple hours every week when the liquid nitrogen truck drove in due to the road vibrations it created.

It’s an awesome experiment. And it requires huge computational resources to process all the data they take in.
