It's funny, because some of my colleagues are thinking of switching the other way around, at least during video conferencing. They have to mute themselves to do a quick Google search, otherwise you have this annoying sound when you tal

I don't know, a common issue I have seen is pointing the camera towards their face during a video call. These are people that have been taking pictures with regular cameras for decades, but give them a smartphone and they can't ta

The value you produce is just the upper bound of you salary. The salary you need to survive is the lower bound. Then what you get is in-between, based on supply and demand.

It's not a matter of should. It's just that, on average, someone in a cheaper city will accept less than someone in an expensive city because what is too little to cover rent in some places allows you to live like a king elsewhere

Isn't the whole issue the definition of the market? That's going to be highly subjective. Are Samsung and Google phones running Android the same market? Most people would say yes. Are phones and tablets, or computing devices in ge

But it's affecting everyone in electronics as far as I know. My company is not in automotive, but pretty much every lead time has exploded, prices have increased and some pieces are just not available at all. The automakers might have

It's pretty much impossible to find GNSS chips currently, at least the ones we use (ublox). There's a massive TCXO shortage.

Personally, in an application, I would quickly start bottom up. It's unlikely, but maybe there's an obvious way to improve one of those functions. An unnecessary copy or similar can easily happen. Then, yes, spend time bottom up,

That probably doesn't account for replacing the batteries though. I know a flight school that bought one electric aircraft and had to replace the battery within a year or two.

In my experience, currently public transport works really well for high density routes, but no one has managed to solve the low density route issue. Take a bus going towards a leaf node at 10 pm on a week day, and you're often the only

Thanks for the explanation. In practice, it seems pretty similar, the manager has to estimate what is a reasonable amount of work an employee should be able to do. It's just that in my case it's over 42h/w and in your case it

I often see this, but it doesn't match my experience of being salaried (outside the US). There's never a concept of "work done", there's just an endless list of things to do that I tackle one at a time, for 42h/

I've never really understood the link between "being cold" and catching the "cold". I assume it's because your immune system is somehow slower when you're cold, but the correlation seems pretty strong base

Well, as a counter example, a similar thing happened in France in 1973. ATC went on strike, and they were replaced by military controllers. This was a direct cause of a mid-air collision[1], which resulted in the government folding, and the

Maybe not a mistake, but code smell, often, yes. If you add blocks, it's usually because you want to group things together, and avoid scope leakage (if that's an issue, then you're probably doing similar things multiple times

You would have to prove cause to fire without notice. Also, depending on the country, firing/layoffs can be difficult without cause (and often even with cause) (e.g. you can't layoff someone at will, you might need to prove that y
