It definitely is the case in the EU. Where did you get the idea it isn't?

In my country, which is in the EU, having someone work for you without a contract is a crime. Because by not having a contract you're denying them rights such as pension contribution, paid vacation, health insurance etc.

Plus you have to pay taxes on salary, so if you hire them "on a handshake" as it were, you're probably doing tax evasion too.
Who says they aren’t? Also why would you assume they are. A lot of residential ranges might host small businesses.

God I hate this dystopic timeline we live in.
You don't sign a contract buying something in the supermarket, yet a contract is still formed. You negotiated or discussed with the employer about pay and responsibilities, of course they are part of any such contract and their option is to dismiss you, not unilaterally change the terms.

You might not use Safari, but webkit is open source still and used by a few browsers.

I was about to suggest Midori, but it seems that it’s a firefox derivative now. :/
As for “high lead solder” - you won’t buy it in Europe. We had to learn using lead free for rework and you know what - it’s not much different, assuming you have high quality equipment.

That's bollocks. You can buy leaded solder in Europe just fine. You only need to worry about lead-free if you want to sell a commercial product.

Keep using Firefox (with uBO installed), but disable "Pocket" and switch off all the telemetry.

MRI and CT scans done in India vs US will have vastly different quality.

Basically, for equal quality in india you'll always end up paying 2x-5x of what you'll pay in any developed nation.

This is the primary reason, if you are rich and want quality - you will overpay in india.
Sure but Ladybird won't be released before Summer 2026...
This is so useful! Thanks for actually recording this and walking me through your thinking process.

I'll probably make some adjustments to the tool next week because I've been receiving some really cool and candid feedback on this here on HN.

Keep up the great work. I think what you're doing is really valuable for people with new product ideas.
Do you? I'd imagine you can have too little on some of the pads, such that the melted material doesn't make contact.

As long as others pads have enough they'd pull the BGA into place, and at that point those pads would make contact and complete the solder.
Yes, of course.

If I worked somewhere I didn't feel I could tell my employer, it would demonstrate a lack of trust and a toxic relationship. I wouldn't want to work there.

I typically disclose it during interview, and disclose even to recruiters that I need a day off or two once a month for health reasons. ( I don't tend to go into details until later in interview if I feel like it's going well. )

Does it close some doors? Yes, absolutely. I had one recruiter tell me that their client was "startup-y" so perhaps I "wouldn't have the stamina" for it. I insisted I was very capable, but they made their excuses (they lied that they'd send through the job spec) and left.

But that's their loss.
why use a self signed certificate, why not create your own signer cert install that into IOS and then its no longer a "self signed" cert, but just a private cert org.

IOS does allow you to install private signer certs, right? (right?)
For me as well… with constant human supervision. But if you try to build a business service, you need autonomy and exact rule following. We’re not there yet.

>Why are you so focused on the US? The world is a big place, and everyone has agency.

The post is about the US, the thread is about the US and the message I originally replied to was about the US....

If you are talking more generally, I am baffled as to why you would ask that. The US's actions are reducing/removing free agency for a significant percentage of people on the planet. I am pro-humanity. Those people are no less deserving of all the possibilities that life has to offer but just as importantly, they deserve every chance to improve their lot. Since we have concrete proof that the US has acted to cause problems in other countries, they will be criticized.

Classic example of government overregulation fucking over the regular citizen.

I go to two hospitals and am dealing with a medical condition and it's a total nightmare. Each hospital uses the same backend but I have to go through a lengthy and convoluted process to let them share information with each other after every single appointment.

I'm getting really sick of this affecting my treatment in the name of "privacy." I have a medical condition, for god's sake. Privacy is completely irrelevant if my doctors cannot even efficiently communicate to treat me.

Every week I curse whoever it was that thought this would be a great idea. I'm sure it sounded great in their heads, as regulations tend to do for most bureaucrats.

I am a security engineer btw, I have worked on privacy and security featuresets for products that billions of people use every day. I am 100% confident that it is doing more harm than good in the medical-information-sharing space.

Obamacare is a mixed bag, but I don't think I'd go back to a pre-obamacare era if I had a choice. So many people stayed at jobs for longer than ideal because they had pre-existing conditions that wouldn't be covered under a new insurance plan.

The consolidation of the last 20 years has been a real black mark on the system. It was supposed to improve outcomes by making all the records easily available in one system. Instead we've seen the independent doctors office largely go by the wayside and local competition decrease.

Not all outcomes are comparable or worse though. The outcomes most improved seem to be net worth of executives.
It's probably because two months ago PocketPair announced a joint venture with Sony Music and Aniplex that includes merchandising. [1] The revenue from the Pokémon games is nothing compared to the revenue from merch; Pokémon merch generates more revenue per year than Pokémon GO generated over its entire lifetime. [2,3]

Thus Nintendo is likely more concerned with consumer confusion between Palworld and Pokémon merch than between the games. On top of that it would damage The Pokémon Company's position in any negotiations surrounding merchandising agreements, because partners can use a potential Palworld merch deal as leverage to get a better deal from The Pokémon Company.

Condition is if "your doctor orders it" and how long does it take to get to that doctor if it isn't an emergency. I don't about Switzerland but it is quite bad in majority of EU countries.

And Why can't you just walk in to a clinic to get x-rays and tests done like it is in done elsewhere. Have clinics compete for price.

The other part no one mentions is the utter cheating that goes on in statistics to show that the health care system is doing good. Things like counting the patients who were admitted but not counting the rest 90% who died just waiting for months.

Oh the memories, J2ME.

I got super interested with these in high school, because I finally got a Nokia N73 and that phone had the best and most complete J2ME implementation.

But I only had a netbook (atom cpu, 1gb ram, rotational hard disk) so I ended up coding J2ME using Emacs, a poorly written ant buildfile (due to my poor understanding of Ant) and the J2ME javadoc in a browser.

Those were the times, for me.

I had some pain in my lungs and they gave me an xray in about 30 minutes here in Spain to confirm that i had pneumonia. I waited 45 min to see the doctor in the emergency room and then another 10min waiting for the doc to check the xrays.
For half my life I had an Egyptian passport, and for the other a German passport. Having experienced both sides, that bit of paper is without a doubt the most valuable thing I own.

It's hard to quantify the kinds of doors it has opened for me. I was able to get a scholarship to study in the UK that covered home/EU rates (a third of international rates, while I might not have been able to get even a student loan otherwise), get government funding for a PhD that would not have been accessible to me otherwise and other grants, travel to international conferences without thinking twice about visas (unlike many colleagues) meeting people that would impact my career and skipping all sorts of and barriers along the way, and never had to worry about deportation because of the EU settlement scheme, easily become a founder (no visa sponsorship needed), and so much more! Even travelling/business in the the middle East, being German rather than Egyptian is an entirely different life, one that my cousins cannot even begin to imagine.

There's a parallel universe where I'm stuck making ends meet in Cairo where I was born, dreaming of a brighter future, feeling all my potential fade away. I know because my immediate family is that version of me - no less talented or worthy of the opportunities I got because of my nationality!

I see the kind of freedom that I have because of that passport as one of the biggest modern injustices.
I agree. From the heading alone, I thought: "Cannot recommend that piece of ... on your army goggles. This can only end in disaster."

But actually "teams" with small letter might also end in a disaster.
You'd still stuck with the built environment as it is, just as everybody else.

Same experience in the UK. Just within London you have a dozen charging networks, they all have their own shitty apps, they require you to add your credit card and create an account and half the time they simply don't work and just give you some garbage error message like "charging failed".

Don't even get me started on Oxford. We arrive to a charging station and it turns out it is exclusively for electric taxis. No mention of this anywhere online.

It boils down to trial and error, and then remembering which specific charging points tend to work. For a completely new piece of infrastructure with no legacy cruft, the industry has made a complete and utter mess of it.
Uh, you can do the same with your EV? Nothing stopping you from unplugging and driving away if you want.

Ease of manufacturing and export of vehicles globally.

A more accurate analogy would be, are you capable of finding and correcting errors in the model at the neural level if necessary? Do you have an accurate mental picture of how it performs its tasks, in a way that allows you to predictably control its output, if not actually modify it? If not, you're mostly smashing very expensive matchbox cars together, rather than doing anything resembling programming.

In the UK you also pay insane taxes and your _median_ citizen in the UK has far less disposable income after all expenses including healthcare, according to OECD metrics. In software engineering specifically, I'd make a third of my current income in the UK.

I'd much rather make 3x as much in the US and still get free healthcare through my employer, with shorter waiting lists and better treatment outcomes than the NHS.

And we also have "skip the line" services here as well.

My family have worked as doctors both in the UK (NHS and private), and the US, and they vastly prefer the US system from an outcomes and efficiency perspective.

Commonwealth Fund studies like the one in the article tend to be quite biased and pushing a very specific agenda.

But in reality, we have far better mortality rates (1) for serious diseases: 48% better outcomes for cancer, as an example.

When people with serious problems want treatment, they come to our system if they can afford it, because we actually do have better outcomes regardless of what these highly biased studies say.

---

Edit: People calling my argument a "strawman" should really try living in both systems for a year with a chronic, serious health condition.

They will very quickly find that the US system is far better than the NHS. We get seen more quickly, our doctors can afford to actually spend time on us, more effort goes into root-causing a problem, we have more treatment options, etc.

It's easy to theorycraft online and look at the "on paper" metrics from highly biased studies and come to the wrong conclusions.
Wow! Really cool. Cheers for the scraping portion being open source. I had fun searching for some of my postgres pain points and reading old discussion :).

I'm curious how you're determining the cutoff point for showing results?

Expand and hide for emails in thread is a really nice UI touch.

It would be cool if there were a way to search across all the channels at once.

On a similar note, the search query changing when I click on different threads is also a pain.

Search query in the URL would be cool for sharing functionality.

Noticed that there are sub-sentence highlights in the sidebar selector, but not the larger email thread view. Having them in the larger view would make it a bit easier to grok the results for me.

This situation sounds like Europe (& the UK) two or three years ago. Plentiful well maintained, fast and convenient chargers have sprung up since from a wide variety of operators (electricity companies, oil companies, startups, plus Tesla).

We standardised on CCS a while ago.

Many chargers are even faster than Tesla Superchargers whilst supporting the plug-and-charge standard ISO 15118. They are often surprisingly cheap too.

It seems weird to write off CoD as just another AAA meant to push boundaries. It's a franchise that has been in the top 3 most sold games every year for over a decade. And the counterpoint was never that nothing would run it was that this idea a 200 dollar laptop would be fine for the average gamer seems like a stretch. The average gamer is trying to play the games that are the most popular on average. Sure they could probably run Roblox and Minecraft but that's about it until you hit the old and indie markets unless you start making heavy setting sacrifices.
can you elaborate on the details? I have some memories about running OpenStack where Rabbit "was slow", but we never figured out why. mnesia is the storage layer?
I don't understand why executives don't seem to understand the basics of effective communication. It's not like they don't have access to staff and expertise here.

My only advice to you would be to make sure you take him to multiple ophthalmologists before accepting such a diagnosis—get at least a second and third opinion. Actually, I’m begging you to do that, because even if there’s a problem, it could be treatable.

Other than that, I have no specific advice I can offer here, but my wife and I are going to pray for your family. We wish you strength!

More that the stereotypes people have of Germany/USA are really of Bavaria/Texas (beef, guns, lederhosen), more (small c) conservative, and there are occasional mumbles and grumbles of independence but they don't have any substance to them.

At least, that's what it seems. My grasp of German means there's a game of telephone between reality and my understanding of Bavaria, and I've never even been to Texas so I'm judging them by what people say online.
