I agree with OP for my own reasons, but you bring up a very good point that I hadn't previously considered, so thanks.

I've been working remotely from different parts of south/southeast Asia for almost a year now and my cost of living is comparable to my previous residence in Amsterdam. If I was paid less just because I'm in Asia now, I'd be a bit peeved.

I spend a somewhat similar amount on rent because I expect a certain standard of living. I also bought recently bought a new laptop, which ended up costing more than if I had bought it in most expensive countries. Last time I checked, most of the items I regularly buy (e.g. a cold brew coffee) cost exactly the same here.

You should be paid for the value you bring to the company. Your location WRT earning potential is none of your employer's business.
From personal observation only, the climate denial side seems to have fewer scientist in all, with less direct relationship to climate science on average, a more direct and pressing connection to their corresponding sources of bias, and with a greater proportion of those scientists who have that connection - and all those faults in a great majority. So, from my point of view, it doesn't seem like a draw when it comes to bad faith polluting each side of the conversation.
It's good to see Gitlab staying strong, I worry sometimes that if Github has no competition it might turn into a new Sourceforge (which to be fair has cleaned-up its act in the last several years, but only after years of earning enormous amounts of bad will)

Granted with Microsoft ownership there's less chance of Github becoming cash desperate, but it seems possible if somewhere down the line Microsoft loses active interest and goes on life-support, and Microsoft decides that the property is no longer worth protecting from the arbitrary whims and corporate commercial strategies internally.
Combining GNAT with LLVM
There is no rule that says you can only reply to the primary point of a comment. Personally I found the clarification interesting, and learned something from it. Why do you think that detracts from the point about the potential motivation behind the rebranding? It's possible to learn more than one thing...
Wow, nothing like a massive whinge to start the day! Don't take a lot of pleasure in saying it, but am highly suspicious of the author's role in all this. While there's no doubt John plagued our friend's life (as are Johns' wont); how said friend played everything else, the relationship handling, the motivation (!) ... culminating in this ego-driven, embittered rant. I mean, the situation definitely sucks. But my biggest takeout was how stacked with shit hires the whole big tech scene must be. It sounds like a bureaucratic hr tetris nightmare, where all you're getting is these equity-driven, self-absorbed shapeshifters that don't stack together because its not in the job description. And then it all implodes. I don't know, maybe there was something constructive between the lines in there. I just couldn't find it.
> Sorry but remark only reveals lack of knowledge of what Forms, WPF and UWP are capable of, their related tooling and component libraries from the likes of Telerik, DevExpress, ComponentOne, among others.

I'm fully aware of WinForms, WPF, UWP, having built applications with all of them at one stage or another.

As far as UI frameworks go, they're serviceable - but no way am I recommending .NET just because of them (well, maybe WinForms if someone's writing that type of application).

Personal opinion, of course.
If all things are absolutely equal other than Salary, the company only needs one person, and Bob will take the offer for $50K less--then, yes, they'll probably hire Bob. By virtue of having an expensive lifestyle--and, presumably, more local options--Sally has priced herself out of remote work for companies that genuinely don't care where employees are located.

Of course, real life is more complicated than that and all things are rarely equal.

ADDED: GitLab actually explicitly states: "All things being equal, we will hire people in lower cost markets vs. higher cost markets."

None of that has anything to do with the topic discussed here.
Alternatives include engaging in a partnership (basically investment). Someone wants to start a business, they gather interest from investors who put in money for a share of the business. The founder contributes effort (and perhaps some money), and the investors contribute money. If the business succeeds, great, everyone wins. If it doesn't, the founder(s) are not stuck with debt + interest to pay back.

So, basically what you mentioned. And yes, it does involve more work. But that's how life is if you want to be fair. The alternative with lending money with interest is that now the lendee owes you money just for simply borrowing money. We see what this practice gave us when we look at the current financial situation (in its many forms, bonds for example are a form of usury). It is a predatory practice. Simply making money for having money is extremely dangerous and unethical. You have to work to make money, either by putting in effort to do physical labor, or by doing your research in deciding whom to invest your money with, etc. You can't get money "for free" (I realize that nothing is 100% guaranteed, e.g. if the lendee declares bankruptcy, but the contract itself is predatory).

What is even the justification for the embargo at this point?
> Are they on the keyboard right now?

Of course they're not on the keyboard while I'm exclusively reading. But while I'm in vim, my hands certainly are on the keyboard nearly at all times, resting on the home row.
That's a fair criticism, I certainly didn't mean to insinuate that this happens everywhere in Italy. Various mafia organizations are most definitely active outside of Napoli in various small Italian towns, though they may not be as violent. Tourists are incredibly unlikely to ever have an issue but locals are affected more.
It just means they're not following the teachings of their respective religion.

>Yes but the romantic era of blogging is over. Content creators have to get paid.

Yeah me too. I've read a fair bit about the story and I didn't even know she was a model. She's mostly mentioned by name, and called an entrepreneur or businesswoman - not a model.
It's not either-or though. My team is remote ~50% of the week. In many ways it's the best of both worlds.
In typical use the person being paged makes direct contact with the sender once the page has been received. It's better than guaranteed delivery, in that the direct contact from the recipient closes the loop "completely", and guarantees that the message has not only been delivered but also read, understood and acted upon. The attempt to page continues until the contact has been made.

It's an old technology but it works. Large parts of the world are still installing new paging networks as their old ones reach end of life. Part of my day job is designing the equipment for such networks.
It could simply be that they are not aware that it's prohibited. If you look up early Christianity, they definitely loathed money lending due to interest.
Only onomatopoetic expressions please.
I agree, and I definitely don't want to excuse it. I would maintain that the analogy used is inappropriate given that they're still in contact about the money.
Few will argue against having work-related interaction. That's fully expected.

It's the socializing part that's not everyone's cup o' tea.
Alekhine and Capablanca are also among the best ever chess players, of course most probably there are lots of today’s players that could probably beat them (as today there are better defenders than Beckenbauer or better strikers than Gerd Muller or Van Basten) but in the great scheme of things they are among the greatest in the history of chess. And there’s always Kasparov and I would add Karpov, too, even though he is not as liked.
Most of the projects in spawnfest fit that bill: https://github.com/spawnfest

I'm referring to charging money on money, at any rate no matter how small. There is no difference.
The chicken thing sounds like over-regulation, but it's already reality for ungulates, and I suspect it's tied into disease control. We really don't want a situation where the national chicken industry is wrecked by an outbreak of bird flu that can't be controlled because we don't know where the chickens are.

On the other hand, one thing the EU is genuinely bad at is the "small operator" exemptions which UK law is generally good at. They very rarely exist in EU law.
You missunderstood most of it, but you are correct:

It is even more creepy, when someone "acts" like looking good, when he actually believes inside, he does not.

But when someone believes he looks good and feels actually good in his body, no matter the weight fot example, then this person does look good. (to most people)
But that does not mean, that suddenly everyone wants to have sex with him or her.

You seem to took the hollywood definition, that attractiveness is objectivly measurable on a linear scale. With sexiest woman toplist etc. That is bullshit. There are general things if course, like healthy body and mind, but attractiveness is highly subjectiv. Eastern areas for example love fat women. Weetern not so much (in general)

And I have seen really "ugly" men (by common standard) with very beautiful women in true love. Because the men had confidence amd strenght and knew is way around in this crazy world and the women loved that strength to feel save.
I don't think it is about being cautious of unintended consequences in general. It is about being cautious of some unintended consequences and not caring about other unintended consequences.

The choice of which of these matters decides the politics.
Good news is based on fact and biased by a narrative. People need stories to understand. Facts are hard to process and remember for most. But, fact checking whether opinion or satire* or news can be useful for the average person that doesn't have the time to fact check.

*satire passing as news with fine print is garbage meant to mislead.
The problem was roaming charges in Europe weren't always cheap, often required separate SIM cards and it was a pain to do. Doubly so when you consider how the different countries in mainland Europe are effectively borderless.

The EU only steps in when corporations have already failed to regulate themselves.
In that case I suggest you apply for a job at NSA.

Modern day Christianity strayed from the early teachings. If I'm not mistaken even during Shakespeare's time, money lenders were loathed (because of them charging interest), and it was prohibited then.
>But I do hope they do not proceed with the in wheel concept. In wheel motors make the ride not only bumpier but more dangerous. This is because the wheel with more un-sprung weight bounces more and tends to lose contact with the road more, which in turn makes the car more likely to spin out of control, miss a turn, etc.

>Electric cars, being still relatively new, cannot afford to get a reputation for danger.

I'm really sick of this "anything that measurably effects handling in a negative way is a non-starter because safety" attitude that's become increasingly pervasive. The fact of the matter is that there is a range of handling that is "acceptable" and anything in it is fair game. Nobody is expecting a Dodge Journey or a Spark EV to handle like a Porsche. At 15kwh/kg these motors will be fine for vehicles with average power to weight ratios that do not place a massive emphasis on performance (i.e all the "appliance" vehicles that purists hate). For low power levels these motors may weigh on the same order as the parts you need to transmit power to the wheels in a conventional applications so there might not even be any net gain in some applications.

This is a hard thing to do properly and easily (TriNet I believe does it well, but they are not as inexpensive as Gusto). And many state still are behind the times and you can't file on the website and have to mail in compliance reports or pay for access to a special system etc. Kinda stupid if you ask me, but I've dealt with it too.

What you could do is have him declare a home state (primary residence), maybe his parents state or something, and as long as he isn't spending long periods in another state he would be considered a traveler and not subject to local state employment taxes generally. Of course, if he gets a new drivers license etc then that won't work. This is how you handle traveling consultants who might literally spend the next 6-9 months in one state for a job, but they are permanent residents of their "home" state for tax purposes etc. He can even have mail temporarily forwarded to the state he is in, just not permanently forwarded.

You should probably talk to an attorney or tax accountant just to get the details right, but I did this for years with my consulting teams and we were always on the right side of the law. Only place that it gets more tricky is the north east area with their shared burden on taxes etc. But if he can avoid his home state being one of those then you are probably pretty safe.
It's all contextual. Without further context, there already some ways to express the intended meaning with sentences like "je suis repue".

If you look at synonyms of repu, for example in the Dictionnaire Electronique des Synonymes from Centre de recherches inter-langues sur la signification en contexte (CRISCO)[1], you will find among others things, (avoir) le ventre plein, plein and remplir (to to fulfil).

So its unlikely that in according situation, a French native wouldn't understand what the woman means, even it wasn't already in the phraseological customary of its hitherto acquaintances.

And of course, as you might expect, French will provide you a myriad of possible constructions if you want to turn your expression into dirty vulgar utterances. ;)

The only thing harder than working remote is managing a remote. It requires the combination of a super disciplined high performer and counter intuitive communication strategies, both of which are rare and hard to pull off.
They are a poor country ravaged by a tyrannical regime that has lasted as long as it has because Cuba is but a slight annoyance to the US after the Cuban Missile Crisis- nothing more, nothing less. Even if there was no embargo, the Castros would still be there doing as they wish. God knows they're trying to do the same with Venezuela.

EDIT: None of this means I'm pro-embargo, or into US meddling into things they have no business in. Just that ultimately these embargoes do little in the grand scheme of things to stop dictatorial regimes. A tyrant has no reason to play by the rules, especially when money is involved.
Those "synthetic" targets you mention are goals the CEO and executive board laid down. The tech stack was chosen but his peers. It was a case of poor attitude, and he was processing towards his termination before he poisened the well for everyone else.

I had another guy on the team that is just as productive but supports junior engineers by mentoring them on the stack, takes notes, clearly communicates, and takes initiative. Unlike the cowboy, he could teach people to do what he did.

I’m absolutely ignorant on the topic of aircraft propulsion, but I’d always assumed that the diminishing mass of fuel that one was carrying around with oneself as the flight progresses is a key advantage that electric-propulsion aircraft can never hope to replicate (short of dropping battery packs with parachutes as they become exhausted of charge).

Am I absolutely wrong or is it not actually much of a factor?
It’s probably not worth suing someone for $14000 though.

I spent a decade of at least 1 hour in and 1.5 hours back every day. That is a lot of time I wish I could get back in my life. When you work 8 hours + 2.5 hours commute it all adds up. Plus 8 hours wasn't really the amount it was more. Go in earlier to avoid traffic. Get stuck in a late meeting and work time increases plus more time in traffic.

I now work remotely and do enjoy some aspects of it. However, there is much to be said for the co-location of coworkers. If everyone on your team is in an office and you are somewhere else you lose part of the dynamic. You have to work harder to stay in the loop on things instead of just organically being in the know.

This is actually a restriction of consumer choice. If I am willing to buy a product without "right to repair", the government should not stop me from doing so. Many appliances are cheap enough that it makes sense to buy new ones when they stop working.

I think that price limits would not be very good. I'd worry about availability and creation of second-hand market, where third parties would buy out the supplies, to resell them later at higher price, before the manufacturer manages to re-stock the spare parts supplies.

But I think mandating that replaceable parts have to be standardized, would make it so that multiple manufacturers would be using compatible parts.

As a consumer/repairman you'd be able to choose which one to buy from.

This would introduce competition that would put the pressure on the price.

There would possibly be even less waste because standard parts could be more easilly reused with any fitting brand/manufacturer of the product.

I miss having a pager in the 90s and early 2ks. I basically could go anywhere I wanted, or be on the internet when my parents weren't home, and all they had to do was page me and I'd know I either needed to come home, call them ASAP or call them immediately.

I still remember the number too but don't remember a few of my phone numbers.

What I learned from my 7 month ML journey
>Some say that the high prices paid at frequency auctions are partially responsible for the high prices, shitty coverage, and mediocre bandwidth of mobile networks in Germany.

I was just visiting Germany less than a year ago, and got a SIM card and a month of service there for EUR15. My coverage was just fine in cities and some smaller towns, and the data rate seemed just fine; I even used it for a VoIP conversation.

Your prices are much, much cheaper than here in the US. They're also significantly cheaper than Japan. From what I've read, your prices seem to be cheaper than, or on par with, most westernized countries. The only places that seem to be cheaper are eastern European places like Romania.

Seriously, I wish I could get good service as cheap as I found it in Germany; I'd be paying less than half of my current phone bill (and I already pay much less than most people I know, because they all insist on expensive full-service plans).
