Not this way, but a few years ago we got an entire team of 5 people with a very specific skillset for a project and after the first week I discovered they have no such skills. Higher management in my company did not believe, but a month lat

You are missing the point: PayPal does NOT provide any specific reason for the termination, so there is NO protected class as you cannot prove they terminated an account for speech, race or gender.

by AdrianB1 4y ago
By your own logic, Paypal may decide not to be associated with anyone based on any random criteria, including opinions, race, sex, age etc. It can be black and white, of course, just not today.

The member states are not 100% sovereign within the EU, there are some mechanisms to control it. For example, Romania (EU member country) has a provision that international treaties signed by the country override local legislation, so that

I am trying to get the developers paid, so I am not waiting to buy but to play the games. Yes, having the bugs fixed and DLCs available is a great extra. But buying overpriced GPUs with power consumption of an electric car is a showstopper

People play games years after launch. I played Witcher 3 2-3 years after launch, I bought Cyberpunk one year ago and I did not install it yet, waiting for a reasonable GPU to be available. I know people that play 10 year old games (for exam

My company has branches in all these countries and we also have contracts with IT companies in India; here is what I see: - Western Europe is a very wide spectrum, where Germany, The Netherlands and UK are a lot higher than Spain, Italy or

If you don't manage that team and "the thing" is working, you need to define what is the problem you are trying to solve and why. You are describing a software that is written in a naive or obsolete way, but other than doing

Is that because the 2 have a time gap? Throwing money in the market does not have instant effects, it takes a while.

It is a bad idea, but technically speaking it has nothing to do with democracy, they are orthogonal.

Governments distorting the market do not negate the value of nuclear energy. France have many sectors involving massive loses on purpose, not because they are not economically viable.

There is no average European, I know at least 2 very different countries (France and Romania) where nuclear energy is popular.

This should never happen, the developers should not choose whatever technology stack or components they want for their piece of code, that's how Frankenstein started. But getting fired is reasonable in this case.

At work, we use foreign key constraints when it makes sense, that is over 50% of all cases considered. The factors considered are risk and performance: what is the risk of bad data to get in the tables and what is the impact of that happens

Joins may be severely misunderstood by some people that write front end, middleware and backend code in the same day, but not by dedicated SQL developers. If the app is big enough and important enough, having dedicated SQL devs is the solut

Living with one case in the extended family, we are still glad she is alive and able to recognize most of us and have a discussion, but probably this is a very subjective matter and your experiences may be different.

You are completely right. In the few cases of dementia I know, people lived just a few weeks after they completely lost memory and awareness, not long term.

It is preferable to die of "old age" (including heart disease or dementia) at 90 than from cancer at 35. Yes, eventually everyone dies, but some early deaths are preventable, it seems to be half of cancer deaths, some car crashes,

It used to be true that people know these three are bad, but this changed a few years ago when aggressive corporate marketing on the "body positivity" changed the perception about big BMI incredibly, many people these days believe

So a future movie about the Ukraine war is perfectly fine if Zelenski is portrayed by a very talented black woman and Putin by a Japanese drag queen?

I think it is because of the retention policy many companies have: after a certain amount of time (3 months, 1 year, 3 years are most common that I've seen) data has to be permanently deleted. This means if you make copy/paste&#x2

It is not about making friends, it is about relations with the people I work with. More than 10 years ago I saved someone's job just by simply clearing a serious misunderstanding with people I knew.

I am working remotely for 15 years, but from time to time I go to the local office; when I go to lunch, I just socialize with anyone that I see there and I either have an informal affinity (calling them friends may be too much) or I want to
