Yep, I did use an EUR account. You may be right about the lack of proper implementation.

I really hope we're going to treat sugar consumption like that.

I had to do exactly that with o2 Germany. They continued to charge me after the contract expired. And they even tried to charge for the router that I actually sent back.

That post really resonated with me. I attempted making my own ESP32-based remote for controlling my media centre while I'm in my kitchen, or generally away from my laptop. The nature of embedded with interrupts (e.g. from buttons) and

Thanks for detailed pointers. What's the deal with front/back offices?

Maybe don't try this experiment with an ex-communist-state cities full of dreadful concrete blocks of flats.

As a point of reference, many hotels in China have windowless rooms. I wouldn't want to live in one, but, for a short stay I actually preferred it. There was much less noise in these "internal rooms". Normal rooms usually g

Can you have a career in finance as an engineer with Python and without C/C++ (professional) experience? Your post really made think it, it's an attractive area to work in.

Very interesting story. I'm actually impressed, you're allowed to give us such "internals" about GS.

Wouldn't you need to be a customer of one of the underwriting banks? Or, conversely, one level removed, so a customer of one of the big banks on the "VIP list" of initial buyers. I always thought retail-facing brokers are jus

I wish there was something open source and cross-platform like Synthesia. I find staff notation very frustrating but still want to learn to play existing music, at times.

Never mind what new features will come, I hope it'll always be backwards compatible with MIDI 1.0. MIDI today is so universal and so easy to understand, even on the very low hardware level.

And Central/Eastern Europe is still hurting today because of policies like this.

Can we finally remove Netflix which doesn't fit in here? We can always replace it with Microsoft.

No way, it actually worked. Thank you!

Firefox, very annoyingly, still doesn't support WebMIDI. I know it's a very niche use case but still. I normally use Firefox but have to pull up Chromium just for that one feature.

Oh, don't you worry. Average person's labour being taxed highly is not considered a problem. It's rather a solution to many problems.

> Singapore has low income taxes but high CPF (forced savings for retirement, health, housing, etc) requirements - 20% of gross income on top income taxes. The total take isn’t that low. Which, compared to western states, isn't take

And yet Singapore has low taxes (by some considered even a tax haven) and is not a welfare state. That is by design, LKY having been a big supporter of personal responsibility.

I am also in the Brother laser club. Don't know anyone having any printing problems with it. The new ones are super quiet too. They only tend to be a bit picky about the WiFi networks, so better to use with a cable.

High taxation creates a perfect environment for corruption.

If anything, if there are unions, they keep the engineers salaries down. At least that was my experience in Berlin, Germany. Unions don't want "privileged" engineers to earn much more than average office worker.

Where exactly? I had to pay for all my government IDs.

There is. Just at very high level with very high stakes. It'd probably be impossible to bribe a random cop or government clerk though.

It works better for me than the original jack2. I also use multiple USB "sound cards" and that workflow is painful with JACK. In Pipewire they all share the same space and I can use them in a DAW at the same time.
