So as a parent, you gift the money to your children on the condition that they lend it all back to you until your death. If the children don't behave up to your expectations, you'll just spend it all on booze and hookers^w^w^w rea

Many places in the world you pay a tax for inheritance. For 100% (or otherwise significant) inheritance tax, the issue is how to implement it. If you know it's happening, you'll just gift what you own to the preferred recipients b

There's a big divide between those who can get a mortgage, and those who can't. When you buy, pay the maintenance expenses, and for a limited time (well, not Sweden, what they do is essentially renting from a bank) you pay back th

That's not how it works in Finland either. In last 10 years, I've lived in 3 different apartments within 4 km radius from the Helsinki Railway Station. The latest one is the first where a 1000/100 Mbit cable is available, the

The random thing learned from the article, is that ping parses octal, and apparently also hexadecimal. So now I can do ping 0x7f.0x1 next time I want to show off.

I just checked for curiosity. The employer can sue for damages they'll have to show. But there's some additional factors here. If the employer misses salary payments, then they're in breach of that employment contract, and un

We have it now, where I live. We started ordering our groceries when the pandemic happened, but it's so convenient that we'll probably keep doing it once it passes. I'm not sure if about 5% of our weekly supermarket spend wou

A couple of additions on why people graduate from uni so late here. First, it often takes multiple attempts to get into one. The most popular programs have admission rates of around 10%, but since "it defines the rest of your life&quot

In Finland, it's a combination of two things. First, there's near-free education. Second, an under 25yo person is not eligible for unemployment benefit until they have completed a vocational/college/university degree or

It's a failure of tooling. The library, or the compiler, should stop you from interpolating stuff into SQL strings. We've already seen things like this keep happening over and over until it's made impossible. The whole situat

I think many of those who advise against nano have bad experiences from earlier times when it didn't properly support UTF-8 and EOL-diversity, resulting in broken files. I personally use vim (as my console editor), but the feature set

To me, the etiquette part of quoting being the exception and not the rule was elementary school stuff. Maybe it's a culture difference?
