It is mostly true. There is more flexibility for smaller companies, but generally you need to justify firing someone and courts tend to protect employees more. The issue in France is that you basically have tons of small companies that can

In France, if you are an engineer (Grande Ecole), you go work for companies like EDF, Thales or Safran. If you're BTS/DUT (c'est ca la puissance intellectuelle... bac + 2, les enfants), go work for a small company, preferably

Well, the French and American approaches to customer service are different, to say the least. So if you can't compete on customer service, you compete on no customer service :D Meaning costs and technical aspects.

This is just a gimmick. France is not America. That does not mean it doesn't work; it's just a different model. The focus should be on improving the current system rather than trying to import a model that is too culturally incomp

It's obviously not easy to answer. Perhaps you'd have to ask, what would Woz do today? (That Jobs might want to start selling) When they started messing with personal computers, it was considered uncool, boring, nerdy, useless. Ev

Oliver Williamson and the "New Institutional Economics" school came up with a four-layer model explaining that real-time/day-to-day economic activity is influenced by contracts (time frame: months to years) which in turn are

Sure, but that does not really address the point. Couldn't we do all that with robots? There is no match for our brains; but robots bodies can sustain acceleration, temperature variations, lack of atmosphere, etc. much better than us.

In the 80s, Bill Gates and others figured out that hardware was a commodity and most of the value is actually in the software. It's possible we're seeing a reversal of that trend; like we're seeing the trend of a distributed&

Well, for once we're not following them to the middle east, so that's a plus. I'm not entirely sure what the point of sending humans to the moon is, though. It was cool to do it once, but now we can probably do something more

FRED It's an economics and financial data service from the Federal Reserve that has heaps of indicators. They aggregate data from many other sources (IMF, World Bank, etc.) so it's the closest thing to a one-stop service for econo

An alternative route might be to find a way to integrate this code with a logging library like spdlog. This way you'd get the cool short notation of dbg(...) and the ability to have more control about the sinks (including indeed dynami

>Where CloudBees/Jenkins has faltered is in its instability, mainly due to the thousands of third-party plugins it supports and the maintenance headaches they cause. This is true, but also a bit disingenuous. The Jenkins plugins eco

Of course. But surely you don't let anyone access your API, and you put it behind another API, right? Just in case you need to change that first API without breaking all the users.

IS was created after the US destroyed Iraq, based on false evidence (just like America invaded Afghanistan based on false reasons). The damage is done, but why persist? What do you expect to happen exactly? In fact Russia consolidated its i

I'm sorry but your explanation makes no sense. Oil is wherever it is located, so you have to go there if you want to take it or protect it. But you can grow poppies in most places. It makes no sense for the US to spend something like a

At the moment I don't think there is a way to do that. But it's probably in Steam's interests to make it happen, from their own platform. Otherwise I could write a tool to do that, start my own website "occasions-vapeur.
