If you pay minimum wage (about US$300) it would be about that per working day. Increasingly, cleaners are working per diem because they earn a lot more (about US$40 a day, but this varies a lot by region). The downside is that they get no b

Minimum wage is about US$300, which would make about US$220k total (you get about 13.3 salaries per year), plus fines and overtime. They'll have to pay social security too. It seems to me that the case doesn't include the labour p

Its a common occurrence for families to take in poor girls to do house work in exchange for food and lodging. And with the insidious nature of Brazilian racism, they will pretend that she is part of the family. They might even take her on v

There's a Portuguese saying "há mouro na costa" which is literally "there are moor at the coast" and means that there is something fishy going on.

It's an uphill battle to inform the public. Most people just don't understand and don't care to understand the issues until it actually hits them, such as with the farmers who bought JD.

This reminds me of a T-shirt I once saw that read: perl -e ' "$a="etbjxntqrdke"; $a=~s/(.)/chr(ord($1)+1)/eg; print "$a\n;"' It's cursing. Don't run i

I've gained a taste for a yt channel that shows depopulated towns across the US. It seems to me that local governments must also have tons of properties to sell or give away. The real issue is that these are in places where people don&

I've been learning Russian by myself since the pandemic and along the way I've picked up bits and bobs about food, history, geography, music, and even electronics. Learning a language is not just about the language per se. I'

I had a little chat recently with a glaciologist and he told me about a student who had come from a very religious family. The guy had to learn all about the formation of Earth, etc, and decided to give up geology because it would put him a

Intel mobile chipsets for Core 2 Duo only supported 2 or 4GB. And not all the desktop chipsets supported 8 or 16GB. I have a laptop with 3GB: one of the slots only supports 1GB.

Does this mean that the government will compensate OpenAI for lost revenue?

My company recently hired a concierge. At first I thought it was unnecessary and just meant to give someone's friend a job. But the guy is really good at it. He organises groups of people who show up; he knows everybody, so he can quic

The same thing used to happen in Brazil. Machado de Assis is great for older audiences, but a bore for children and teenagers. Making them read his books probably did more harm than good.

I like this little thing: https://openwrt.org/toh/gl.inet/gl-usb150 You can use it as a repeater, so the whole family can just use the same network/password we use at home. And it is so small, you can run it

I started seeing LED displays on store fronts in the late 80s (the ones that scroll text horizontally). This would have been quite the product then. TVs were expensive, but B&W TVs not so much.

It seems reckless and unnecessary even if the gamble were 100% a sure thing, which no gamble ever is. Even if AI is a game changer, it doesn't mean that your business model will have a role in it.

The good bits will be sold off. Some of their products are very valuable, even if you don't like them.

It doesn't seem rational to me that such a big company wouldn't prefer to diversify.

I knew a bit of 6502 assembly, so I was happy just to have more RAM and more registers. Looking back, the simplicity of the instruction set seems quaint next to the thousands of instructions we have today.

I'll just recognise that I'm old (and a bit grumpy): back in the day, if you didn't write minimally efficient code, it simply wouldn't run or it would be terribly slow. Young devs have not been exposed to this and they c

That's just not enough motive to waste someone's time. And, no offense intended, that car is not that interesting. I guess policing must be boring.

If it were outsourced to somewhere "nice", it would surely be mentioned: designed in Italy, built in Germany, hand polished by a Buddhist priest in Japan, etc.

I think the objective is to show how strong you are. If you wanna go fast, use freestyle, if you want to conserve energy, use breaststroke or backstroke. I don't see a reason to use the butterfly outside of a butterfly competition.

Windows is going downhill so fast, I fear ReactOS won't be relevant before Windows becomes irrelevant. Maybe ReactOS will live after Windows as an option for people with critical applications that for some reason won't run on Linu

I know people with doctorates who can't organise their lives. Being a good student does not make you smart in all aspects of your life.
