I've been a consultant/contractor, less than 4 months in, and I still have been invited to (great) Christmas party, and even shared paid buses that took whole company and also given free accommodation. Human decency is human decen

My boss' tesla model 3 died over 1 night of rather standard storm. Not first night out on the rain, quite rainy place, nothing unusual. Fully dead. At the service, they just gave him keys to new one, no detailed questions - most probab

With diamond jewelry, you pay mostly for the manual work of jeweler since folks don't go to jewelry shops to buy a diamond stone alone. If we talk about gold bars, no sophisticated manual work involved, just pouring molten gold into so

I was just joking, sorry not a native english speaker. What I meant was that disk space with code text was never an issue on modern PC, so optimizing for that doesn't make sense.

I have to agree. When I was junior decades ago, I saw all those cool one liners as some sort of holy grail and had huge respect for the authors, like we had 10KM HDDs so every char counts. Then I realized how hard they are to debug once cod

That's part of good senior/manager skills unfortunately. These sort of subtle hints happen all the time, it looks bad if folks keep missing them. Ie British are famous for them, you'll rarely experience straight talk to the b

Rail for people is hard to get profitable without pretty high cost (or permanent subsidies). Look at Switzerland - this is the land of trains, all reachable cities and villages have main train station at their heart, use is frequent, and

It can be a even real mutual feeling but still there is massive added value in such praise for both giver and receiver. Depends on how its done obviously.

This would be too risky IMHO ie in eastern Europe (I don't mean sh*thole of russia where this is even much worse, just eastern EU). The general attitude is less tolerant. Most people in general population of course have 'live and

Europe doesn't have that high tariffs on them, neither does rest of the world. Chinese manufacturers will continue their global meteoric rise whether they are successful in US or not, its just 4% of population even if wealthy. And if t

Yeah those costs allowed many (not only) kids in poorer countries to actually own a first computer. Apple even at those times would not be reachable. Spectrum clones were extremely popular in central/eastern Europe, for many an introdu

Apple to me has clearly a goal of providing a tiny version of smart phone on your wrist. Garmin aims at as-smart-as-possible watch. Everything else comes from this philosophy, be it battery, design of not only display and it shape etc. Diff

If you were older, you would still consider current rates low and recent past an obscurity that couldn't last long. I can say that definitely about Europe, ie here in Switzerland interest rates used to be around 7% for quite some time

Moon came into existence as coalesced cloud of matter that remained around Earth after collision with another planet (the rest of it is in our core, most probably causing those huge heterogenous blobs deep inside). At least thats the latest
