Well, Nordic countries have a reputation for strong social support systems throughout, so I'm hardly surprised that they have great parental leave policies.

A number of things - the Z axis seems loose, the other axes skip steps (possibly the stepper drivers overheating), general issues with bed adhesion and warping.

All common 3d printer issues, though some are exacerbated because I bought a cheap kit from an unknown supplier. I got to a point where every time I fixed I problem I'd notice two other ones, and put it down and haven't picked it back up.

Good advice for people getting 3d printers is to decide if you want a printer as a tool for design/prototyping, or 3d printing as a hobby. I told myself I wanted the second as a path to the first, but after many hours of printer building I concluded that I really just wanted the first.
That's smart, but what he's saying is plausible. First of all significant parts of the world use chip-and-pin cards that can authenticate the pin locally. Not that they are hack proof by any means, but considerably better than mere magnetic strips like we still have here in the US. Moreover, if the offline mode is ephemeral and unpredictable, then it's less prone to exploitation. Again, not immune and not the safest thing for an ATM vendor to support, but the overall fraud risk could conceivably be within their comfort zone.

Ask HN: Is there a FOSS implementation of Apple's Newton OS?
Were there any attempts (successful or not) to implement a free and open version of the Newton's operating system? The only relevant pieces I've found are OpenDylan and Einstein. Newton OS is a very interesting kind of operating system (in some aspects it is, in my opinion, even better than the Apple's current mobile OS) and it certainly deserves to be preserved and maintained.
Sweden is up there with the other Scandinavian countries as well.

Sweden will even give the parental leave RETROACTIVELY to immigrants that are moving to Sweden after the child is born but is not yet 7 years old. So if you move to Sweden with 3-4 kids, the mother (or father) can stay at home several years - with pay. An immigrant to Sweden with 3 children will receive 20.000 SEK per month [~3000 USD] for staying at home, taking care of her kids.

Sydney (Darlinghurst), Australia

SiteTour is looking for a full-time developer to join our team.

We're a small startup - currently it's 2 full-timers (1 business, 1 tech [me]) plus some freelancers, advisors and partners. We're building a platform for the out-of-home advertising industry (billboards, bus shelters, buses, shopping centre panels, etc)

Our current tech stack is Java (GWT/Spring/Hibernate), Geoserver, AWS (EC2, S3, RDS), MySQL; but it's not set in stone.

It's a full stack analysis+development role, taking changes from requirement through to testing, from front-end through to the database, and also assist in providing operational support for the live site.

We have lots of opportunities that we're working through, and things are pretty fast-paced, so we need someone who is happy to receive requirements that are very loosely defined, flesh them out, produce a design (either in your head, or on paper depending on the size of the work) and then see it through development and testing.

We're based in Darlinghurst (Sydney, Australia) and we're looking for someone who can be physically present in the office, but there's plenty of flexibility (we're happy to have a mix of work in the office/work from home). Sorry, we're not set up to sponsor overseas applicants at this time.

The things we care about (in rough order)

- Good cultural fit. It's a small team so we'll be seeing a lot of each other, and we want that to be something we're all happy about

- A team player who can work with minimal supervision. We're busy and everyone's got a lot on their plate, so we want to be able to help each other out, but we also need everyone to be able to pick up their own work and run with it.

- Happy to work full stack & full life-cycle. One day might be spent brainstorming how we want some end-user features to work, and the next day spent neck deep in code. If you like that sort of variety, that's a good thing.

- Happy to work with our technology stack, and able to productive quickly. I don't care too much whether you have GWT or AWS experience, as long as you're happy to work with it, and happy to put the effort in to get up to speed fast. Obviously if having experience makes those things easier.

In return we can offer

- Flexible work arrangements. Both of us (the 2 full-timers) have young kids, so if you're in a similar situation we're happy to talk about how we can accommodate.

- A chance to do Java development in Sydney without working for a bank/telco/consultancy. Those who work in Sydney will know that there's only a handful of interesting companies, and the rest is big corporate dev work (I know, I've done lots of it). If you've got a Java skillset but want to break out of that world, then here's an opportunity.

- A fun office environment. We share office space with a couple of like-minded companies, and I think it's a fun place - hopefully you will too.

>If you think it's worth it to pay these fees, then so be it, but no need to use fallacious arguments to veil their impact.

You've yet to really address any of my original statements. I never claimed that paying someone a percentage of your returns as a management fee means you receive less. I fundamentally disagreed with Vanguard insinuating that Wall Street received the equivalent of 2/3s of your potential portfolio value, which indeed is not the case. I don't know what fallacious arguments you are talking about.
Well before long we will have integrated prescription glasses + Google Glass. So maybe it'll just be, "please turn off your glasses" :)
I agree, US companies should have better policies, but that would rely on the government enforcing an even playing field (not very libertarian). Otherwise there is no way any single company can stray too far from the pack without seriously damaging their competitiveness.

Maybe something like the government covering 70% of the your away pay (capped, obviously), and giving the company 15% to go toward to whatever they chose (covering you more, hiring a temp, the bottom line, etc.) The size of the company could also be a factor on how large that payment is (the smaller the company, the larger the percentage).

yes, apparently with a much truncated api set.
From your own link:

“In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, it is standard that mothers stay at home for 3 years after a child's birth, which may extend with additional children. Mothers can decide to take 2, 3 or 4 years of maternity leave. It is also possible for the fathers to take the leave instead of the mothers but it is not common.”

Anyways, you’re missing the point. In the US, no parental leave is mandated whatsoever, which is why an employer offering 2 months is apparently a reason to rejoice. Few developed countries offer so little.
...it feels like this was submitted in response to something. Could someone link that, if it exists?

Stealth mining is akin to theft (electricity bill), I wonder how it will be classified, legally.
In Czech Republic the mother have 28 weeks of paid leave (starting usually 6 weeks before the child is born. After this time one parent (no matter of gender) can take parental leave, which can't be refused by employer and he have to give your job back after the leave ends, until the youngest kid have less than three years. This additional parental leave is paid by government.
The UK (as Anglo as it gets ;-)) is 2 weeks: https://www.gov.uk/paternity-pay-leave/overview .. but up to 26 weeks if the mother goes back to work.
I'm assuming you mean "less harmful"?
Google or someone on kickstarter should make a clip for google glass, so we can put it on and off in a matter of seconds. Don't want to carry a second prescription glass around
Then how have we been able to get by without this for the vast majority of human history? How has America been able to create and sustain the world's largest and most vibrant economy without such policies?
Especially since 'fold' isn't an action you can do with your finger against glass.

Typically, it is is paid through taxes or the health insurance system.

Assuming parental leave of 1 year, this amortizes over a working life of 45 years to a little over 2% (while some people will not work or will not work for all 45 years of their lives between 20 and 65, a corresponding fraction will not take parental leave; in fact, if the lower income parent takes parental leave, it's generally less).

This pays off because we know that the first two years are absolutely crucial for the development of a child; parental leave pays off in the form of more productive adults and lower criminality. It is well worth the investment even from a purely actuarial perspective and if you disregard the moral component.

It’s a project by UCLA School of Health’s World Policy Center. From their site:

The selection of data sources for the World Policy Analysis Center was based on the approach outlined below. Preference was given to primary sources (e.g. constitutions or laws as specified in country’s legislation). If these were not available we obtained information from secondary sources (e.g. referral to a law or policy in a different text). Secondary sources were reviewed in cases where the information from primary sources was unclear or lacking, or to complement this information (with priority given to sources that were comparable across multiple countries). Documents were reviewed in their original language or as translated into one of the UN’s official languages.

If you have better data, I’d love to see it.
1) It's so much better than not providing it at all.

2) People have been working to improve that stuff since forever, and are continuing to work on improving it. Especially now that Big Data is The Thing and a lot of groups are looking into making government data accessible.
Any larger company should be using SCCM or e.g. Miradore for configuration management anyway, so Ninite doesn't seem that useful.
Not everything is the world is purely functional.

Absolutely agreed. I love a stylish nick-knacks and neat design details as much as the next person but there seems to be a disconnect in the 3D printing world. On the one hand everybody talks about the revolutionary effect of home 3d printers, and on the other hand the only examples people have ever shown me are children's toys and stylish nick-knacks. Where are the at least mostly functional examples?
I guess I'd be OK to pay taxes if they were used for such purposes.
"Make something people want" is too esoteric?

Astrid was founded in 2008. If step (a) is above, and step (b) is simply "Persevere", then such a note to yourself becomes:

Make something people want. Persevere.

Somehow that seems far more likely to end in the manner you'd like.

Why Apple is borrowing money
How so? Be precise. Otherwise, how much credibility do you think a blank assertion like yours has?
The interesting thing is that introducing this 14 month of total parental leave (at 67% of your net salary or net income for self-employed parents) in 2008 failed to improve Germany's abysmal fertility rate (http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/statistics_explained/index....). We are still stuck at ~1.38 children/woman.

So while Norway is doing something right, it's not just parental leave. Furthermore, they seem to be far from having a sustainable fertility rate at 1.88 children/woman.

Ireland and Iceland are doing better. France too, but most likely this is due to a heavy influx of young Muslims from North Africa.
While people generally look for the lowest insurance rates, do you think that the OP's idea may warrant charging a higher premium?
The open communication does last long (: The problem is the following: the existing managers will move on, the new manager will come, the new employee will come in, ... So... you eventually end up in the same place as in any other company.
In Estonia the leave is 100% salary for 1.5 years (78 weeks) for one parent (either the mother or father). However there is a cap on the maximum salary the government will pay, so if the parent is earning a lot they will be taking a pay cut.

I actually think it's quite a good system, to encourage parents to have children.

Discontinuing of Xeround Cloud Database Public Service
Leaving aside the fact that I wouldn't trust a newspaper to for the technical details of something like this, nothing in the article contradicts what jeremyjh said.

In that case, the ATM was disconnected from the accounting system and allowed withdrawals up to a set limit ($2000), but it (probably, the article is unclear) was still connected to the authorization system.

It (probably) still checked your PIN, and checked whether your card had been cancelled, etc. It just didn't connect through to check your balance.

As Jeremy said if for some reason we can't reach the checking account system we'll authorize up to $xxx total for the day on a stand-in basis

In this case some reason == "[A technical problem]" and xxx == $2000

Not always. When the well consists of mountains and valleys perfect for fitting S/Zs into, Bastet will deal you an O (square).

Though it is possible to get the best of Bastet: its algorithm for determining the worst possible piece works by attempting to drop every piece straight down from all possible horizontal positions, and does not take sliding maneuvers into consideration. Taking advantage of this, you can create a large overhang at the top of the well, then play by building the majority of your stack under it.

There has existed a multipolar world in the past, in Europe. That world was very frequently in a state of overt war, so it's not clear that that's a better state of affairs than an unchallenged dominant nation.

“As a healthy male”

Which is why you got accepted and pay very little. Whether you have ‘good coverage’ is relative, I doubt it is as good as most European healthcare coverage. Also: if, G-d forbid, you get ill, insurance companies in the US can refuse to pay because of ‘pre-existing conditions’.

“I'm not aware of government programs that pay you to just come up with ideas in other countries”

Many countries have government programs that provide free training, business coaching, and a stipend to get your business up and running.

“you could also go to a state school in the state in which you have residence”

Which would still be more expensive than it costs most European students in their countries, and they probably get a better education. There are some good state schools like Berkeley, UCLA, Georgia Tech, and Penn State – but they don’t have space to place every student of their state, it’s only relevant for a few. Whereas in European countries, you can always find a state university to go to.
Yes, it ain't easy to break in to a top ranking site for search results in this domain, but we are trying our best to build a useful product that catches the imagination of the users.

We are thinking about how we can help users with the 'content' part as well.

It is very hard to provide 'accurate' metrics without polling/contacting the users frequently and we really don't want to hassle them in any way.
Personally and as a user of nothing but iPhones since 1st gen I am less concerned about aesthetics and considerably more concerned about functionality.

iOS handling of the hand off between apps is nothing short of an embarrassment. The constant ->into this app->out to homescreen->into that app->out to homescreen is a joke at this stage of the game and something needs to be done about it - desperately. there are other issues here and there too but this is a daily embuggerance.

Squawking about stitching and torn pages, etc. frankly makes little sense when the actual affordances of the UI are shamefully out of date.

I pray that Ive is focusing on UX and not just on flat vs skeumorphic design.

iOS is in poor shape at the moment, IMO.

I live in Oslo, Norway. I became a father for the fourth time just two weeks ago, and I am really looking forward to spend at least 3 months at home with my new born son. But when my two kids from a previous marriage was born in the mid 1994 and 1996, I did not have any paternity leave at all. I could have stayed home with my small kids, but I didn't. Things have changed. My then wife wanted to stay home with the kids longer. The number of weeks designated for the father has increased since then. Also the culture has changed. Now it's a lot more common to see fathers with strollers.

Besides all kids are guaranteed a place in child daycare from the age of 1. The number of active women working in norway is just as important for the economy as the huge oil reserves.
Thanks. We have added a lot of features based on user feedback and will certainly look in to it.
Funny, but "It's not like one side of the entry is in one bank's IT system, and the other side of the entry is in the other bank's IT system." is actually false in interbank deals such as correspondent accounts, money market or forex deals.

If a deal involves two banks, then the authoritative "other side" of the entry will be in the other bank's IT system. Of course, you'll maintain some records of what the entry should be in your opinion, but they won't always match as you don't have full info and you'll reconcile with data you get from the other bank's IT system by (for example) SWIFT network.

And I've seen only double-entry OLTP's for the core system that includes general ledger. Maybe no all of them are built that way, but I haven't seen such examples.
