I've been on a call rota for 20 years at 7 different banks. Never get anything extra for it. If there is a particularly time consuming problem you can get a few hours off in lieu.

> Amsterdam — a city long famous for its pot cafes — last month instituted a new ban on smoking marijuana in public places. I'd love this for NYC. I'm getting pretty sick of smelling weed all day on the streets.

I think the point is people earning $8/hr 40 hrs/wk 40 years = $665k total for a lifetime's work. Of course most people in the world earn much less than this.

Yeah my child's Chromebook has this problem. Was a year-old model when bought, now is at AUE date after just 4 years. Still works really well so not sure if we should keep using or not.

Now hardware and bandwidth is so cheap now you dont have to care about design so much. Make a service, JSON in JSON out. Some kind of loose versioning but no formal schema and fix it up as it goes.
