Not to forget that you might have multiple part-timers on your team who are doing different work hours. The shared work time dimishes which makes it more difficult to hand over tasks etc.

Another reason is that longer trucks are harder to overtake on motorways, the longer the truck the higher the risks for accidents. Europe has smaller highways and country roads. Furthermore truck logistics in the USA is mainly based on FTL

I believe in the great resignation within the leisure/restaurant industry. Waiters and chefs live mostly off tips, and the COVID limitations have deprived them from those earnings.

IMHO quite generous by them, in my former companies you skipped the raise talk if you joined less than 9 months ago. Makes sense, because you just negotiated your salary on entry.

Italy could have been one country that introduced coffee to Europe, but let's not forget that the first Austrian Kaffeehaus opened in the 17th century as well (using coffee stashes obtained after the 2nd Turkish siege in 1680). What tr

Wouldn't it make more sense to convert the video to greyscale and e.g. detect significant changes of brightness during frames and store them as vector coordinates (% of the playtime, brightness delta)?

Oh no, another company that creates ghost houses full of vacation Appartments that nobody uses because they are "investments". Has it come to your mind that an increasing number of European municipalities issues punitive taxes if

Let me ask you a question: if you had the choice between drinking 4 espressos or 1 cappuccino, what would you choose if you wanted to sleep well at night? If you follow PGs logic, it shouldn't matter because 1 cappuccino is the same am

No - my point is that some posters in this thread overestimate the monetization potential of exposure. Ultimately, it doesn't matter if the project is for profit or pro bono - either way you commit to unpaid work. Volunteering doesn&#

To all the folks who would do it "for the exposure": my partner volunteered as a graphic designer for a well-known European charity event that featured a former US president, known music groups and fashion designers as pro bono ac

Your photos might appear on this Netflix show, which doesn't mean that you/your brand will do so. Or it might appear in the closing credits that are usually skipped.

I think relational "age brackets" play a huge role in the incel phenomenon. Let's assume that by convention the male partner in an adult relationship has to be 0 to 6 years older than the female. This means that a female of

Because your activity contributes to the appreciation. A good restaurant attracts a lot of people, which in turn attracts other businesses (think of bookstores next to popular cafés). This increases the worth of the property.

Maybe it is an "ALDI" job. Aldi is known for overpaying their shopkeepers by about 30%, but expects them to do the work of at least 2 shopkeepers at other stores. Still makes sense from a business side.

The problem with Germany and many parts of Europe is Nearshoring. Why overpay a developer at Berlin if Polonia is just 200km away? Same goes for Vienna and Hungary. I'm sure silicon valley salaries wouldn't skyrocket that much if

10% is the absolute minimum and doesn't buy you anything of the house, it just covers the legal and realtor fees.

Consultancies/Contractors can be career boosters, because they have a rather high attrition rate, which allows you to grow into more advanced positions faster than in a product shop (e.g. Dev -> tech lead or software architect). You

I don't get why Amazon should be scared by AGPL. I mean all of their services run on GPLed Linux, why should they be scared by a GPLed Grafana?Even if they had to open-source their Grafana contributions, they could do this in a way tha

Strictly speaking, only Austrian grammar school teachers appointed as civil servants were allowed to carry the title Professor. That appointment (Pragmatisierung) is somewhat comparable to academic tenure: you had a job guarantee and the ri

Small correction: only grammar school teachers are called Professors in Austria, junior high school teachers just "Herr/Frau LehrerIn". In earlier days, you needed a master degree to teach in grammar school and just a bachelo

Agree. In the end commercial and open source software aren't that different: the more dollars you put into it, the more say you have on the roadmap.

GitLab comes to my mind, where an issue can either be open or closed in the community edition. You literally have to pay for "work in progress".

You should also consider the liquidity risk when selling a house. The MSFT stock is traded thousands of times per day, so there is strong consensus on its price. A house like yours in a neighborhood like yours is maybe traded once per year,

I think the "retail demand" for phones is closely connected to phone repairs. Unlike a computer, a phone is carried around every day and has a much higher chance to break. Customers depend heavily on it, so they are not willing to

I guess the work contract also said that the Facebook employee has to show up for X hours per week at Facebook HQ to fulfill their duties. In other words: the permanent home office arrangement requires a new work contract anyway.

And? Every supermarket chain does this... First they look for good-selling brand products in their assortment, then they launch a very similar product under their own house brand following the "80% of the quality for 50% of the price&q

Proximity to the raw materials is another important factor. Latex gloves are mainly made in Asia, because that's where most of the rubber trees are.
