What? My parents send me the child allowance ("Kindergeld") they received for me for the 6 years I was at university, plus 100 EUR/month. I also had a regular job earning 450 EUR per month, so I had around 700-800 EUR of income per month with a 240 EUR rent. Tuition was 500 EUR per semester, so around 80 EUR/month. I was health insured for free via the insurance of my parents. I had around 300-400 EUR per month for food, electricity, and internet, which was more than enough for a single nerd. I financed vacations etc. via freelance work and savings from jobs I had when I was in school and my civil service. This was in Germany from 2008 to 2014.

Overall, I estimate that my university education cost my parents around 7000 EUR. And this wasn't even educational costs, but mostly living expenses.
At this point we should be praying that the next competing model be called Winamp to come full circle.

Oh yes, the romantic notion of "inspiration" from the gods. I guess this works if you are gentleman poet, having the leisure time to "wait for inspiration". But for most professional writers without a family fortune, you have deadlines to meet and you need to understand the creative process just as any artist need to know the tools they use.
Weird remark, but anyway; long term doesn't have to be 'great'. It can just be very long running companies. My company is 30 years old. I would say long term means something in that regard and there tons of mum and pop type places that are quite old. My old-aunts company was created in 1945 and still does very well today. Maybe we have less 'trillion$ or quit' mentality? I am happy if all my colleagues get a million euros a year for the rest of their life in my company; we don't need to be the biggest or greatest, we just need to be provide stuff people value and make money so we all can live.
Yes but what percentage of that ends up getting taxed?

There's no single policy that applies in all European countries. In a lot of countries there's no tuition fee (I live in one of them and went to university here), in some there's a token fee per year (a few hundred euros), and in some others students have to be fairly substantial tuition fees. Nothing close to the numbers you're quoting though. $10-20k per year is the highest I've ever heard of for public universities in Europe.

> Sneaking in spies as refugees is a fairly common strategy.

Is it really? Are there any examples we can point to?

Refugees are often dispossessed and struggling to build a new life. I guess if you want your spies to gather intelligence on what it's like to drive a cab or bus tables in your geopolitical adversaries, then it might be a great cover identity.
Bachelor + Masters is 10 semesters usually. 1000 * 12 * 5 = 60.000. Well in the range that I quoted. And depending on the city the actual costs can be more.

The settlement is limited to those cases that have been brought and they're trying to plug that hole with legal tricks. But so far the judge isn't buying it which means the parent company will be liable and if it is found to be liable after all you can count on many thousands more lawsuits. It will also remove the cap on settlements. You can expect J&J to take a massive hit on account of that, possibly more than the market will bear.

My understanding is that yes, they generally do. The pay gap is too large. Levels.fyi says my role at the same company makes 360k USD total comp here vs 224k USD total comp in Germany, and that's with somewhat lower taxes.

Of course, the societal benefit of strong social systems though aren't really comparable to an individual's benefits in my opinion if we're just asking where someone will be better off. Individually, I'm not sure what it's worth to me either, although there is some level of private equivalents through disability insurance etc., though it's certainly not as comprehensive I imagine. I don't know how the pension works exactly, but my impression is that it's something like a 401K retirement plan in the US, where you put in some portion and your employer also matches some contribution amount.

So I'm not sure the different in benefits makes up for the 136k gap.

> edit: In Germany. I‘m German and I have studied there. I should know.

I am also there and I didn't pay any monies anywhere for university(unless you mean fancy private university?). All state universities are free and we only paid some misely amount every 6 months for the city-ticket(free access to all public transport in the city, cool stuff). Also, state pays each child ~125/month until they are 25.

I believe you are in some different parallel universe entirely O.o
It seems a bit disingenuous to frame it that way. Perhaps they are just mindful of the consequences, e.g. increased costs. There was a referendum in Switzerland on increasing the minimum annual leave from four weeks to six, and two thirds of voters rejected it. [0] The major argument against it was the anticipated cost to the economy.

Talk about perverse incentives... wow. That takes the whole concept to new heights.
As I said in my comment it has nothing to do with tuition fees.
I don't really know honestly, I'm just a proponent of "information sharing" in these spaces. I work with a few software providers that have a "give-back" clause for modifications, and it's a wildly powerful thing. I'd like to see it in this space too.

If I was implementing it, I would add some sort of survey a few days after the recommendations/queries are made and ask "Did this work, why/why not?", and attempt to train off of that. If you wanted to verify the accuracy, you could implement a test that ensures that things don't change wildly (e.g. if you tell it you're a small business running a SAAS on AWS that it doesn't recommend switching to Azure, or using EKS if you're already on ECS).
Strangely enough if you asked Europeans if they wanted high American Salaries they would also say yes.

That's not a problem with body scans, it's a problem with the medical system overreacting to the new information.

Avoiding scans is a distraction from the real problem of the medical system not knowing what to do with the new information of a full-body MRI scans.

Unless you're hired 'at will'. Then your manager can fire you for taking vacation.
What disturbs me the most is that there is a kind of activist aspect behind all the corruption...

Apparently a lot of people believe and support these corrupt ideologies and portray the corruption as a kind social service and they keep virtue signaling; essentially bragging about their involvement in censorship and anti-freedom hate-mongering.

It's like they expect people to thank them for ruining everything and being be embodiment of evil, insanity and corruption... These people see everything as superficial labels and make no effort to reconcile these labels with reality (quite the opposite). They only care about their social status and winning at all cost within this abstract, elaborate facade of a society they've created.

And the number of people involved appears to be substantial based on their influence. There are a lot of insane people out there and they're calling the shots.

Something changed in the last few decades. Such people would never have been given any power a few decades years ago.
It's also worth pointing out that, in many European countries (Nordics, Italy, probably Germany as well?) it's perfectly ok to just take say most of July or August off, along with everyone else. It's disruptive to the business (to the point that it's taken into account when planning things), esp. in complex companies, where a couple of key managers or architects missing means an entire initiative can stall for the duration- but it's part of the culture and business owners are just accepting this.

Also, even the senior key people are often not really expected to answers emails during vacation. It might be different at the director level and above, but they're pretty much all workaholics anyway, so they don't mind.
Legal discussion aside, as a person working in security, it's pretty annoying to have to block certain web scrapers / automation while allowing a certain few.
Those are all suggestions, pretty much none of them are the Law; and many of them have a zero effect on you, especially when building new. You can use less AC and heating by building a much better insulated house + geothermal heat pumps, for example. There is no inherent improvement in a gas furnace v some electric solution to the same problem.

Yes 25 is very common but still more than 2x what Americans typically get
Salaries are so much lower than our American counterparts you'll be working right up until our government mandated retirement age, which is increasing. Our economic growth across the EU is stagnant. These are not things to be celebrated.

Would love some examples, practical a-z stuff; how does one make a couple of these run on a local (yes, large) server for instance?
I'm sure that the GP comment referred to total costs, not just tuition. Cost of living in a German city for 5-6 years can definitely add up to 30k-100k. Note that the costs of attendance typically cited by US schools similarly include cost of living, e.g. housing and meals (e.g. [0]).

No, I still don’t believe in AI being able to produce things by itself.

The human using the AI will need to articulate the exact things he wants.

That’s exactly what programming is all about.

But I am sold on the idea of AI being a good copilot though.
Never heard that before.

I know this to be true in Switzerland, and only in banking. Where it has to do with detecting fraud in your absence.
Also, I'm amazed at the very idea of having a specific number of available sick days which I understand is the standard in the US. How on Earth is that something that is expected to be planned and accounted for by the employee? How can one "run out of" sick days? How do I see stories about US workers "donating" their unused sick leave days to a colleague with cancer or other long illness?

I'm too lazy to look up the details, but here in Spain the rules are something like no pay for the first 1–3 days of continued sick leave (if not a work accident, in which case you are paid from day 1), followed by a partial payment per day off (40% of base rate?) with gradual increase as the sick leave is prolonged (15 days maybe?) with the payment being gradually reimbursed to the employer by Social Security, I think up to 75% of the employee's base rate. Businesses may of course choose to top it up from their own purse.

Other than the business legitimately suspecting abuse of sick leave, the only special case breaks into effect when sick leave exceeds 365 continuous days, at which point long-term disability may be considered.

I cannot say how dystopic the idea of having limited sick days sounds to me. I am someone who very rarely gets sick, so I very rarely need to call in sick, but I simply know I am protected if I need to as a basic right. And some years ago I did have to make use of it unexpectedly (of course!).

Through no fault of my own I was involved in a traffic accident over a weekend which resulted in, among other minor injuries, a severe traumatic brain injury which could have killed me or left me disabled if it weren't for the emergency brain surgery I received. I spent a week in the ICU, another week in the main hospital wing, months of rehabilitation, and around 10 months of "sick leave" until I was able to work again. I was decently paid this whole period and at no point did I have to worry about losing my job (nor about "medical bills" of course!), being able to fully focus on myself and making a full recovery. I can only imagine how awful it could have been had I not had these basic protective rights as a worker and a citizen.
There are companies in Europe that are older than the US. I do sincerely think that “long term” is a viable time frame when talking about European companies. When companies grow too large the often fold. So size is not a good measure of long term sustainability.
the two aren't mutually exclusive, apple can give the consistent experience and also have an "okay, you're the owner of this device, you make the rules, not Steve Jobs" setting that isn't as beautiful but also doesn't try to boss around the user
By your logic then this is also "the cost of having a job."

Nobody discusses costs like this.

Not really... that's a Classic MacOS thing, not anything in NeXTstep, OpenStep or OS X, although OS X respects and preserves them.

Perhaps the closer correspondence is file metadata. For all that Risc OS is based on Acorn MOS, an OS that's as old or older than MS-DOS, it stores richer metadata: for instance, files have a Creator Type which is 3 hex digits.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_RISC_OS_filetypes

This can't be stored on DOS filesystems. So, just like Classic MacOS files with their 2 forks, to keep Risc OS files on DOS media without damaging them, they must be packed inside a Zip file or something like that -- and using a RiscOS (or MacOS) native Zip program that stores, and recreates, the metadata.

(Linux used to do something vaguely similar with the `umsdos` filesystem.)

DOS/Windows PC owners, who think the universe revolves around them, never could get the hang of this.

Speaking of those, does the Pencil still feel somewhat half baked for Apple? The display front panels on iPads aren't "optimized" for pens, like, given rigidity and texturing for front panels. I don't own the iPad kit nor am I a digital artist, but the Pencil as a physical object almost feels like poking acrylic panel with laundry hangars, and most third party feeling among all third party pens. and I didn't understand how they could sell it as a serious thing.
Many cities in the US are walkable and have any kind of culture you want. It’s weird when people paint the US with such a broad brush; it is far more diverse than any single European country.

The city I live in now has about four dozen restaurants within a mile of my home and is perfectly fine to walk in. Granted, there are more parking lots in that radius than I would prefer, but overall it is walkable. The city I lived in before that had fewer parking lots and a better street grid, making it more walkable still.
I had confirming experience on Cruise Ship operating in the Gulf of Mexico. Didn't have passport with me as I went through immigrations. I looked at the selection of immigration officials and was of course directed to the most intimidating official. When I told I didn't have passport he threatened to have me beaten. Happily he was joking. I went through with no issues at all. However, I also suspect skin color matters in these outcomes.

Not only that, they are a requirement to make a good worker, that consequently make a good company. If you burn out your employees you fall behind schedule pretty quickly, so you have to rely on high turnover, which isn't a great option either.

Take the example of Japan

With a new law taking effect in April 2019 requiring employees who are due 10 days or more of paid vacation to take at least five days off per year

Working too much can have tremendous social consequences

Japan has long had a reputation for being one of the most overworked countries in the world. The term karoshi, or death by overwork, emerged in the 1990s when an increasing number of Japanese professionals were dying from heart attacks and strokes. Recent years have seen an epidemic of suicide, in part because of work-related stress: of 30,000 suicides in 2011, 10,000 were believed to be related to overwork, according to the police.
What are you smoking? A minimum wage puts a floor on what is needed to have an employee. Paying less than that is even worse than we have it now.

Where do you live that doesn't have fast food, restaurants, retail, and so on? Most of these 'skilless' jobs are minumum wage. You are advocating for entire sectors of people to be paid less (i.e. exploited further) based on the false notion that few people are paid minimum.

It is a problem once the ratio of money in to money out diverges from previous projections, such as due to unbudgeted increases in proportions of non working and/or lower earning populations.

Then you have to start adjusting the money in (higher taxes) and money out (reduced benefits), and different people in different ages/income/wealth levels start having different opinions.

Here is a realistic estimate for Munich.

A room costs minimum 350 Euros or may easily cost 1000.

Food and going out costs at least 100 Euros or healthy food 200-300.

The subway ticket at that time cost 70 per month.

There are some additional costs such as health insurance etc.

Tuition at that time was 500 per semester for me.

Spending a semester abroad as is common is usually far more expensive.

And by law your parents have to pay. You are not required to even work.

On average parents are required to finance housing and food with 930 per month.
