Also for a long time they were doing yearly (or longer) release, afaiu it's only the past two years that they switched to quarterly (with the QPR release).

Also in the Q&A he mentioned this was mostly targeting the protection of the oil extraction/American companies taking over, not the rest of the country. (tho not sure how much we can really trust what he says)

Isn't China at the forefront of battery technology (and BYD was initially a battery company).

Indeed, it's not guaranteed. But now it seems to be expected for those large private companies to unlock employee equity at regular intervals (I'm not sure it was the case 5-10y ago).

Yes, you might need approval, but if there's regular secondary sale does it matter? > OpenAI has finalized a secondary share sale totaling $6.6 billion, allowing current and former employees to sell stock at a record $500 billion va

You also need to take into account equity, since it went up 250% in a year it can be a large amount of someone's compensation.

They're probably using something like https://benevity.com/ to do the vetting, esp. for non US charities.

Yes, that's the same as for roads/highways, those are better publicly managed.

France, Italy, Austria (and probably others) don't have monopoly on long distance train. For instance, you can take a DB/Renfe/Trenitalia train on french high speed line, or in Austria take a Westbahn train instead of ÖBB. Th

In my experience, they do sometimes still wait (at least that was the case for a few trips with delays last summer). (And tbf I'm ok waiting 30min, with Taktfahrplan how much you wait is usually max 1h and often much shorter, my experi

Doesn't strike me as bad, the alternative is for Europe to continue its slide into irrelevance (nobody cares about any of the small country individually, only united does it have some leverage against US/China/Russia)

That's a nice thing in Switzerland, even if developed with company resources, only what you're being asked to do belongs to the company. Things that are done in the course of employment (but aren't part of the contractual obl

Yeah, it felt a bit weird to me since if anything to reach the stated goals they need to buy a lot more land/buildings. (The recent failed cantonal initiative would have helped them)

Isn't it what they're saying? Wollishofen is getting densified (Green city, etc.), so that access to green space stays the same. It's similar for people in Altstetten, in 10-15 min walk they're in a forest in one directi

One nice thing is that it makes register assignment polynomial (the coloring of SSA variables graph is polynomial since it's not an arbitrary graph).

What matters is how much CO2 was dumped in the atmosphere (and to stop doing it, China is transitioning, the US administration tells everyone it's a scam...)

https://ourworldindata.org/data-insights/which-countries-hav... I would be surprised if China ends up dumping more CO2 than the US (and then if we look at per capita, even more so).

Isn't that tax deductible from income tax? So for a typical H1-B it doesn't really matter (unless they remit more than their taxable income).
