You get Venezuela with bad government. And they bought theirs with state-owned (nationalized in 1976) petroleum money, not with progressive income taxes. Progressive taxation is how you get Europe. Occasionally, someone like Gerard Depardieu flees the top tax rate in France, the world's top taxer, but it still manages to be a G7 economy, somehow.

And, contrariwise, when a nation coddles its billionaires, and lets them do whatever they want, that's how you get the current US government. Nobody's starving, though. Not yet. We still might check that off with another government shutdown and another trade war escalation and another diplomatic insult or provocation.
My approach is merely a reverse take on "it is better to pass up a good candidate than to hire a bad one" that most companies seem to utilize. I'd rather refrain from continuing the interview (even if the company wouldn't end up being that bad) than wasting several months in a bad place.

New housing projects are mandated to have 35% social housing. So our building of 12 apartments have 4 social housing ones with I believe cost €600 per month in rent. Minus around €200 in rent subsidy for people with low income so you pay around €400.

I pay 2 percent interest of €300.000 so about €1000 per month including paying off the mortgage in 30 years and around €150 in building maintenance cost.

Also yearly healthcare for me is €1000 for insurance plus €2900 in Zwv tax. For her it’s €1000 for insurance only and there is a €900 healthcare subsidy for low income.

So that why we have the same lifestyle even though are income is very different. We call it “nivileren”, which I believe translates to income leveling.

It would be interesting to know how much more a user is worth to them when they install the app; it must be quite significant.
The couple times I've looked at VS for mac, the install was painful and broken. Even then a lot of the features one might look for (like TFSVC, and database project support) are missing. I know it's rebranded and expanded from Xamarin studio, I do home 2019 is better.

I really like VS Code and mostly stick to that as much as I can.
I had to do "online traffic school" and noticed there were 2 javascript variables that were on a timer. If you set the variables correctly in the right order, the timer expired and it would let you go to the next page.

I spent the time figuring this out because I read exceptionally fast. When I've read a page in a few minutes and the timer forces me to sit there for an additional 13 minutes, I'm going to figure those things out. It was silly.

Bach, above all, wanted his listeners to experience a connection with God. Not necessarily the dogma-bound God as defined by a specific religion - he did after all compose for both Catholic and protestant masters - but certainly some all-pervading sense of the divine which, if allowed to act as mediator between us and Bach and all of creation, does appear to act as some sort of emotional engagement - indirect, yes, but also transcending the barrier of time and certainly high up on the composer's list of priorities.

If you spend some time on /r/natureismetal you will realize that concepts like "fairness" or "caring" simply doesn't exist outside of human brains. Animals do whatever it takes to survive, and we're no better or worse than them. Eating another animal is completely natural and how the planet works, outside of humanity. Most animals die cruelly and painfully, but that's just a fact of life.
While I can relate to your logic, I wonder: Since men are increasingly considering taking maternity leave as well, wouldn't it be a good alternative to focus on people older than say 40? What would keep you from hiring them?

CentOs and Debian. CentOs feels more like "enterprise developer".
In order to get a variable length context, you need to add some machinery to some forms of attention. For example, in jointly learning to align and translate, the attention is certainly not invariant to number of context vectors. You train the attention to take in a fixed number of context vectors and produce a distribution over the fixed number of context vectors. You cannot train on images with 5 annotations/context vectors and expect anything to transfer to a setting with 10 annotations. That's why I would be interested in a specific paper to solidify what you're saying.
Now that this is out in the open, I wonder how much longer Atrient will stay in business. These people sell these systems to casinos. Their customers are not going to like this at all.

Atrient mostly handles affinity cards and such. So they have lots of info about customers, including drivers license scans[1], but not much of a connection into the casino's main systems. A basic break-in might get you a suite upgrade or free booze. A more ambitious attacker would obtain the casino's customer list, with enough info to identify big losers and big winners.

> Until a Linux distro gets to the level of packaged, simple installation like users enjoy with Windows and Macs, the operating system won't take off on the desktop. And that's a real shame. We need open source software more than ever.

I haven't tried with Windows 10, but Linux installation has been as easy (often easier) as Windows for decades. If you keep it simple and take the whole disk they're about on par, if you want to do anything complicated like dual boot then windows won't even let you. Both have room for improvement on the partitioning UI's. We don't need another distro to solve it because it's a simple as it can get.

But most people don't install windows, it comes with the machine.

As for TFA, I wonder if their concerned about the amount of effort wasted with so many competing phone, laptop and car models.
> Yeah, lawsuit or my children not being able to afford college.

I don't think you've researched the costs of the kind of lawsuit at issue for your business if you think that it's less than you'd lose by having the employee in the position take a year off on job-protected leave.

I'm a consultant too and hourly has many problems as well.

The core issue with hourly is it means you earn less if you work faster and smarter. This disincentive is very bad for you and the client.

Also, the client is going to hold you to your estimate anyway and once you start getting close to it you're both going to get stressed and not do your best work. The client will start securitising your time sheets, you'll start eating hours to avoid angering the client, and you'll both waste hours every week on timesheets and billing. That's all time you're not putting into the project.

I'm not saying fixed price is always the best option but I prefer them. The only time I've been burned by them was when I wasn't the one deciding the fixed price. If you're suffering from scope creep and bad estimates, there's ways to fix that.
They aren't even remotely "secret". Just obscure.
You're so close to coming to the grand realization of why parental leave and such works in European countries.

It's because they have a much stronger safety net. If your children get sick or if they need to go to college, it is significantly cheaper and less stressful.

It's a shame that your thoughts seem to be mirred in sexism though since you fear women having kids and ruining your business by taking time off.
That too. :)
Well your original post made no mention of this.

I know plenty of people with kids that have to travel for work. And they make it work.

FYI, retaliation over parental leave is a thing too. I have a friend who took 2 months parental leave. When he came back he was put on call for a year straight.

Ben from the StackPath product team here. We agree containers or VM's may not always be the best available option for a workload. That's why we also offer an equivalent product to the one by Cloudflare (great product btw) - https://www.stackpath.com/services/edgeengine/

However, it should be made clear that our container and VM solution is not a "function" type offering. You can deploy a container and/or VM workload on our Edge similar to what you might find at Cloud providers. The main difference is we sit a layer above the cloud providers and make deploying worldwide simple, secure, and fast.

With a few clicks or a single API call you can deploy a micro-service all over the world (even add an anycast IP if you need one) in under 60 seconds.
Auction Your Skills:)
I am playing ball. I am working 10-12 hours a day. I don't take any benefits when I am sick. I am paying huge amount in taxes while almost not using very little infrastructure my country provides. It's of great benefit for people of my country to have me doing business here and yet the laws are such that my choices are either to be sexist when hiring, sacrifice my family well-being or not hire at all.
I am currently doing the 3rd options because "the society demands". They get less in taxes and someone misses on a really good job. If I need anything I just hire contractors, usually living abroad so I don't have to deal with the nonsense. Great deal the demanding society got, truly.

> The lack of hardware support in my home theater ecosystem makes AV1 a non-starter for me.

What is a home theater ecosystem? If you're using a HTPC with Kodi or Windows, you'll either soon have good realtime AV1 decoding, or already have it.

It takes time, but it is coming along faster than other rollouts over the last couple decades. Microsoft had a usable AV1 decoder in the windows store basically a few weeks after the bitstream was frozen; and as dav1d is hooked in to more applications, the decode performance on commodity hardware (which can be cooled passively) is becoming good enough to be practical.

Rust can use its own bovine superpowers here https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/borrow/enum.Cow.html to enable developers to write code that's invariant over whether it's dealing with a fresh copy of something, or just a borrowed reference. So, it's not quite correct to say that Swift's use of copy-on-write gives it better performance. Rust can express the exact same pattern quite easily, and do it with far more generality.
Interesting. Suburban Sydney here.

I did a brief trawl through historical calendars on the ebay, most dating back from the mid 1960's, most from NAB or other large institutions. Surprisingly I noted that they showed Sunday as the first day of the week.

So now I'm trying to remember what calendars we had in the house growing up, and how that fits with locale settings on most OS's assuming that Australians have Monday as the first day of the week.
I just finished reading this and it is definitely incredible. It put in to words the many jumbled and foggy thoughts I've been having on the subject for a long time. I feel as if I can perceive people's motivations so much more clearly now, and so many people's apparently contradictory behaviors are suddenly explained and obvious. Fantastic and very important book.

Thinking, Fast and Slow - Daniel Kahneman

Great book about our how humans think. He breaks our slow, logical reasoning as system 2, and our fast, automatic visceral processing. He points out we might think we have control over our thoughts and actions (system 1), but more often than not our System 1 is intervening or providing the true reasoning for our decisions. Great book to introspect your decision making and that of others.

The latter -- it emulates the hardware of various NeXT workstations and you need to install the OS from scratch, or at least find a hard drive image of an install. Both are around if you search, although not distributed with the emulator for obvious reasons. Once you get it working it is quite nice and nostalgic for those who used NeXTStep back in the day.

> Sellen has learned that many people do not feel much ownership of e-books because of their impermanence and intangibility: "They think of using an e-book, not owning an e-book," she says.

I'm sure most people haven't thought it through that deeply, but when you acquire an ebook, you don't actually own it. All you have is a license to use it for the duration of your life. You can't bequeath it to your heirs when you die, and you can't give it to a friend when you're done reading it. In most cases, you can't even lend it to a friend for a limited period.
Agreed. Still sounds like a great benefit.

I’m a public school teacher and I receive only as much paid leave as I had accrued PTO (10 days a year). FAMLA prevents them from firing me for 12 weeks, but it’s not realistic to take anything beyond PTO.

I’d be happy to defer some number of months of Social Security for two months of SS payments now to allow for paid leave, but that’s not on the table either.
> it's just logical self-interest which is exactly his #1 job if he's running his own business.

This is precisely one of the cultural obstacles to correct. Dropping in a 1 year policy without substantial organizational preparation and planning is -- surprise -- doomed to fail. Like every single other aspect of organizational planning.

The problem in the US is we simply do not value these kinds of things. We value individuality foremost and I believe its among the top reasons parental leave is incomprehensible to many people.
It's not like there's a national place where you can set up shop and protest or strike. It happens on a local or regional level just because of how geography and people work.

VR took to HEVC pretty much from the beginning for mobile platforms.

No. "Manufactured Home" has a specific, legal meaning in the USA. They are also referred to as "HUD Code" homes. "HUD Code" refers to the building code under which they are constructed. There are multi-section Manufactured Homes (informally called "double wides"), and single-section Manufactured Homes (informally called "single wides").

Manufactured Homes used to be called "Mobile Homes", and that term is still sometimes used, but it has no legal meaning; the last "Mobile Home" was built in 1976, before the HUD Code was codified.

"Modular Homes" also has a distinct meaning. Modular Homes are different than Manufactured Homes because they are built to different building codes - basically to whatever local or state building codes apply where the Modular Home will be sited. Modular Homes (informally, "Mods") are typically more expensive because they are generally fancier, but also because of the additional cost in constructing a home to varying (and usually more stringent) local and state building codes.

I'm a software developer, but I know a lot about this because my family owned a manufactured home dealership for four decades. And, I wrote and sell MH dealership management software.

True, but Canadian firms also compete with one another for talent, and many top firms (presumably more applicable to a whiteshoe law firm) offer "top up" the employe's parental leave salary to X% -- the best I've seen is 80%, but perhaps competing for top talent employers could offer up to 100%.

In this instance, both the government and the employers are shouldering that cost.
