In France you get 5-8 weeks of vacation that are counted in addition to the official days off.

In general you work 272 days a year and the rest is vacation and days off (this is also the reason we get a different amount of days off every year).

I have about 40 working days off, of which the company can choose the dates of 10.
I think many people on HN may be too young to remember the early 2000s, when you’d kill someone for your stock price to be down only 60% over 3 years, but it absolutely happens to good companies too.
For what it's worth, I don't believe West Germany ever formally recognized East Germany. The closest was allowing a state visit from Honecker in 1987.
Yes... I will cash out any vacation my employer allows me to, unfortunately they require that I take most of it as time off not cash

Lol. No. Far from that. If a line of no return is crossed as far as Taiwan, the Chinese will invade.

Not OP, but IPs are not always considered personal information. If you never establish the identity of the consumer directly, its not clear that the effort required to convert that address to an identity meets the bar of 'reasonably capable'.

The point of my original comment was that there is gray area here and people dismissing it outright as obviously bogus are not thinking very critically about it. I think this is a good example of that.

I'm not sure if you care or whatever, but this could be helpful advice. In general, those in academia and engineering (especially) don't have the social skills to tell apart a charlatan from someone with "true smarts".

There is no amount of "smartness" that will allow you to tell the difference... they will flatter you, shadow you, mimic you, and hide behind esoteric jargon. And chances are, you will be none the wiser.

"Heal the world" is something I gleaned from Reform Judaism. I'm trying to learn about misc philosophical traditions.

I'm a cultural Christian (Presbyterian) and a treehugger. "Shepherds of the Earth" and all that. I currently like the "heal the world" framing better. Somehow it feels less like proselytizing, maybe more like gnosticism.

That may be great for what it is, but what I really want more than anything is to click on a link and be dropped into a buzzing Reddit for Science, full of scholarly commentary on arXiv posts.

SciRate seems to be trying to be that. It's not buzzing yet, but the UX has its heart in the right place. Unfortunately, I see from other comments that the site is pretty old and never quite managed to take off.

There is no need for Mr. Xi to formally give up on Taiwan. He could just kick the can down the road for another few decades, like all his much smarter predecessors did.

> China's people also believe that.

Only because that is what they learn and hear (literally) daily, starting with kindergarten. Just reduce this crab step by step, and it will fade away. The same is true for this even more stupid 7-dash line. They draw this stuff only really, really every map you see in China.
$150 / hr as a 1099 Contractor, is more like $75/hr has a W2 employee after you factor in employee benefits (normally 30-40% of your total comp) and taxation (10-15% more for self employment depending on your deductions)

No but that act shows China considers arresting Western people as basically a chess move.
In my experience US companies had no problem paying my Austrian invoices. Setting up an LLC in the US sounds like an expensive and unnecessary bureaucratic nightmare when all you want to do is a bit of contract work.

I've also talked to a bunch of people who have done contract work for US companies, and they all just have a business registered in their home country.

Noone wants to be subject to US taxation voluntarily.
Most western nations would probably accept a declaration of independence from Taiwan. The only issue western countries currently have with Taiwan is it's claim for mainland china.

Obviously they don't want to be careless, since China could try to invade them if they did that. So they would need quite some military backup from USA and Japan to make China accept their defeat.
I find it satisfying that while the so-called super powers routinely either turn a blind eye or pay lip service or worse, bend over backwards to accommodate China's bullying behaviour, of all the mighty countries, Lithuania showed some spine (irrespective of whether the reasons were based on principles or something else).
When you get an offer of $100K cash + $100K in stock, that's before appreciation. So 3 years from now your equity is appreciated but your cash is not, so you get $225K in cash equivalent.
I mean, of course. The alternative was that Germany takes all of Poland and gets to be more agressive against the allies. The Soviets taking half of Poland was a massive benefit for the allies.
but let me get this straight. It's OK for the monopoly-seeking/having company shareholders to become billionaires off the labor of their workers while sitting on their asses?
My comparison is comparable because all the original post said was to work 2 jobs. This other post comes in and tries to equate working two jobs with contract violation.

No - my dad worked one job during the day and the other at night. Why would you by default assume the worst in people? The original post was always about two jobs. Most people that work two jobs do so legally and ethically.

What on Earth are you all on about adding all these extra conditions to prove the original poster wrong. He never said - get two jobs, work them at the same, make sure this violates your contract, do a poor job, and lie about it.

You all trying to poison the water of this topic by equating it to something else entirely.
My manager at my last job was a real wizard with Vim+Common Lisp, he was much more facile than I am with Emacs+CL.

To be honest, when I am reading other people’s Common Lisp code, if there are many files in their projects, I prefer VSCode. And for my own hacking joy I like LispWorks, usually using the IDE, but sometimes using Emacs.
We have a chance to notice this when it's mediated by a browser. Native apps don't barf all over the console and thus escape such scrutiny.

I first considered this when a friend told me about a brand of lawnmower of which I had never heard let alone searched (mowing lawns is the least interesting activity I can imagine), and one minute later a podcast app had a big banner at the top by which I could purchase a lawnmower of that exact brand. I don't have important conversations in the vicinity of mobile phones anymore.
RSUs are almost the same as a regular paycheck, and in my experience the employer has a lot more flexibility to meet your demands when you're negotiating total comp. So yes, the stock could go down, but you're getting more when you start than you would in salary and if doesn't go down you pocket the upside.

The vesting schedule is where you need to be careful.

Often, the problem in dating requires one to work differently rather than harder. They are missing some facts -- people always are. So the conclusion that their decision is rational is incorrect.

That doesn't make their decision irrational, except to the degree that all complex decisions are made on the basis of incomplete information. You make the best possible induction from limited information. It becomes irrational when one believes they are making infallible deductions, which is false.

Dating may not be worth it. That's a valid choice. But it's misleading to attribute it to facts which may be false or incomplete, and leads to problems with other human interactions.

> Basically no desktop client works as well as the gmail web app (especially when it comes to search).

I would actually make the opposite statement, i.e. generally, webmail clients are significantly inferior to desktop clients in most respects: Feature set, responsiveness, flexibility etc. And of course, being potentially somewhat secure, as opposed to guaranteed no-security with webmail.

As for search functionality - I'm not sure you're right, but I'll grant you that some webmail providers, like Google, provide speedy search.
It's not always easy for team members to openly discuss risk. The pre-mortem technique can help with that. Basically, it comes down to imagining being in a future where the project has failed miserably and asking team members to look back and identify what has gone wrong.

This framing allows people to speak more freely about their fears.
Anyone who buys organically is buying after the HFT firms have made their buying decisions on the entirety of the market, it's not possible to "wait a day or two". The deal will be incrementally worse as these firms extract value, your price will be the one that all of these firms deemed "meh".

It's like walking into a grocery store and the banana you really want it 1$ and you'll buy. Because that's the price that highly sophisticated middlemen between the store and you have determined to be good.

The liquidity argument is abstract and unquantifyable enough to be used as a fig leaf for the industry. Real investors who are in it for fundamental values, dividends or strategy don't need to sell in a nanosecond. Now that you can sell in a nanosecond your deal is bad, as in the moment you hear of the Volkswagen scandal all the trading algorithms are done with their work already.
Edit: apologies to anyone who read my comment analysing the situation and assumed that I’m some kind of warmonger. At no point did I advocate for Taiwan to be annexed. I merely pointed out that China really wants to and they’re stronger than ever in 2021. Shoutout to the dude who implied I’m a Nazi for saying this.

Why would they give up on this “charade” as you put it? They’re closer than ever to annexing Taiwan in 2021. They hold every card.

- Diplomatic advantage. Only 14 tiny, inconsequential countries + the Vatican recognise Taiwan as a country. Everyone else acknowledges that there is “One China”.

- Military advantage. Taiwan struggles to man their military. In any case the investment in the PLA in the last 10 years means no military can stand up to it except for America. Except America is at peak war weariness with the shambolic withdrawal from Afghanistan. They’re comfortable with Sabre rattling but it’s clear they won’t draw the sabre from the scabbard.

- Economic advantage. Every country in the world needs China. China doesn’t need any single country. See how they bullied Australia and Canada successfully. This dependence on China is at an all time high. It could maybe diminish, but it’s unlikely.

And Taiwan is a more compelling prize than ever.

- Political incentive. The leader who integrates Taiwan will enjoy unquestioned power for the rest of their life. Xi Jinping is often described as the strongest leader of China since Mao. This would be his opportunity to become more powerful than Mao by doing something he couldn’t. Unify China and importantly, face down America and show the world who’s #1.

- Economic incentive. 2020 and 2021 has made the world realise exactly how important Taiwan is to the world economy. TSMC in particular the most pivotal supplier for most of the worlds critical industries. If Taiwan could be annexed and TSMC brought under state control, China would have a bargaining chip of unparalleled power.

If it's about timeframes it can be thought of as like a year end bonus being paid out when it vests. With some risks in terms of share price (which is like variable cash bonuses). The only reason most prefer cash is because it's a hard number that base increases/bonus are computed by and for negotiation in next job.
As soon as your RSU vests, you can sell it for cash. Most companies offer an auto-sell option that works even during restricted windows. With a good vesting schedule, it's almost identical.
And anyone who has played a couple of games of Risk knows how much that is worth...
Why would they give up when they are winning? I personally would be really surprised if Taiwan is still independent in fifty years. I wouldn't be surprised if the situation comes to a head much sooner than that.

Spending more doesn't mean much if you don't spend it on something worthwhile. Not to mention that the European countries don't count money spent on healthcare, education, etc for veterans as part of the military budget.

The US is definitely overspending for no real benefit, except lining the pockets of defense contractors(and by that, politicians pockets)
I am a little skeptical about the claims in the article that Ohio COVID deaths are higher in 2021 than in 2020. I have been building tooling around the CDC excess deaths reports [0]. Ohio looks like it did not have the same peaks in 2021 as it did in 2020 [1]. There would have to be 11,778 more deaths recorded at this point to catch up to 2020.

Certainly the situation is unacceptable and terrible. But I am not convinced that it is much worse in 2021 than in 2020.

> I wish whole of EU would declare in unison support for Taiwan.

Sure, Spain can take a break from hunting down Catalonian referendum politicians in France, or hunting down the Basque separatists that Franco didn't wipe out in Guernica, and can declare Taiwan should be an independent country.

The British PM can visit soldiers in Thiepval, Holywood or other UK barracks in north Ireland and declare support of Taiwan breaking off of China.

The Italian newspapers can take a break from condemning the northern League wanting to break off from Italy and form another country, and praise Taiwanese independence.

Maybe after an EU council meeting denouncing the people of Crimea voting to be annexed into Russia, we can have an opening of Taiwanese embassies in preparation for Taiwan announcing a break from China.

They don't need to kick out their embassies, they just need to stop exports for a short period of time.
A short stop because of the pandemic had hard consequences but it could be much worse.

The west ignored the human rights situation at the beginning to get cheap labor, cheap resources and to ignore environmental issues and now the west can't simply stop without killing it's econonmy.
He cannot kick the can down the road if the West forces a point of no return by suggesting the above.

Chinese people initially saw Taiwan as part of China for historical reasons as well as a result of the civil war. Propaganda slows this from stopping, but the problem very much is not manufactured.
Because women should be free to show strength and men free to express emotions. And if they cannot without being judged or shamed then we're all worse for it. Cliches like those stifle our humanity and increase suffering.

I found that college fails to live up to being “The Great Equalizer”
After the experience of meeting the Uber driver with an degree in actuarial science unable to apply his education it shattered my rose colored glasses about how education today is "The Great Equalizer" and the solution to all of our problems.

I wanted to share these thoughts to discuss any cool ideas to bridge the gap between an education and effectively increasing opportunity for people as automation take away more and more low-skill jobs
Yeah, I am not doubting you did the right job firing this guy. But you brought the wrong anecdote to this debate.

The original idea was about a 2nd job. Thats all. You are saying that shows bad reputation and moral compass and then trying to shoe horn in the idea that people with multiple jobs are liars and poor performers.

Have you ever had to work two jobs? As someone that did and whose parents also did, I dont equate it with the worst in people. You do. I think that says something about the classes we each grew up in.
Taiwan could likely develop their own native nuclear weapons in a matter of months, if they chose to. They have a mature nuclear industry with several reactors, and likely already have plans for nuclear weapons drawn up.
