Do you have 20/20 eyesight, and how tall are you? I use glasses (myopia) and can kind of tolerate the edges of my 32" 4k monitor, but I can't fathom craning my neck all the way up to the edges of a 55"+ display. Not to m

Don't worry, there will still be plenty of sickness. The article says 1/3 reduction. If you have kids, you'll know that the resulting number of sick days is still huge.

Ooo, that is interesting. There was a website that kind of did that, but you could only compare single items at any given time, which kind of defeats the purpose (if it is to save money). Ideallly I'd like to see something like a perso

The concept itself ("being on the payroll") is archetypical head-in-the-sand American. All countries have intelligence assets on the payroll, and that absolutely includes the US, probably on the #1 spot. Its like Americans complai

I would say the opposite; talk to your child only in your native language. Kids will learn English by themselves in school anyway, and if they don't learn your language from you, they for sure won't learn it elsewhere. Source: as

Same. LibreOffice exported to PDF. Also I cram everything into one page while keeping things readable. Being concise is an important skill. Personally I find it ridiculous people with a few years of experience and 3+ pages. I have 12 years

You are factually wrong. The homicide rate is still declining as of 2023. Also worth it to note that the military dictatorship was responsible for the explosion in urban crime and violence in the 70s and 80s, which persists to this day. The

Because they are a red herring. With EVs the focus becomes how wonderful they are because they do not burn fossil fuels in their engines. Great, but what about what all the other issues (including non renewable issues in the rest of the sup

Many zeitgeist things are a waste of time and money, like electric vehicles. Generative AI is definitely not one of them.

The job location thing is a bit weird, with just Europe, NY and SF. That is basically meaningless except to show the post-covid decline of SF as an onsite location. Most of the job ads I see are US only or US/Canada.
