Does anyone care? Pros and cons? I guess it makes it easier for people to 'like' more controversial stuff and not get dragged across the coals for it... Lots of people (like Musk) get called out for 'liking' stuff others disagree with.

I honestly think it's unlikely that people on a public forum would admit to excluding candidates due to personal prejudices.

Does Yugabyte actually contribute to Postgres or just use their code?

Second this experience absolutely! A couple of years ago I had a similar experience. I was so annoyed having burnt a ton of time going through a number of rounds, submitted an essay, and then giving an extensive presentation only to get a cold, bland, automated rejection email. Terrible interview experience and enough for me to put peers off applying to the company if they asked me. Ironically they are still advertising to fill that same job two years later.

A cheap phone stand for my desk, saves me putting it down in a random place and then losing it. Also a MASSIVE thermos cup that I can fill with ice and water and doesn't need refilling all day.

I found this fascinating. Although a very different experience, it brought back memories of first getting online as a student in the UK in the 90s and what a miracle that seemed and how genuinely world changing it was.

Reductio ad absurdum. And also a pretty disgusting comment to make.

I thought the same - bit harsh!

Not much has changed since 2009 then...

I particularly love the headline "Regular People Needs Rescuing Too" and the change from "Beautiful Screaming Lady" to "cat in danger!"

Found an article about this: https://www.upworthy.com/8-changes-that-were-made-to-a-class...

So true!

I LOVED these books so much as a kid, and my children also love them now. Gorgeous illustrations and just really fun. I believe they were slightly updated in recent years to add more women into jobs other than housewife/mum!

I'm not sure cat owners can do much about it TBH - cats are seldom trainable! Also, most pet cats don't do it to their servants (as even they know not to bite the hand that feeds them!) All bets are off for strangers though.

Here (in Madrid) when you sneeze they say "Jesus!" Salud for a toast though.

Yep - well know that cat bites and scratches are the worst. Most likely to get infected and take AGES to heal.

I think it's that idea that everyone has a great book/project in them if they only had TIME, free from distraction. But the reality is that they probably don't, even if given the opportunity! Slightly depressing TBH. Shows motivation and will is ultimately more important and things like the internet are just a comforting excuse.

It's something actual Spaniards say! Perhaps he's trying to shift the blame!

I think this is really telling:

"By late 2012, I'd learned how to make a new style of wrong choices off the internet. I abandoned my positive offline habits, and discovered new offline vices."

Basically - you just find new bad habits...!

During Covid I bought a sewing machine and taught myself to sew - then I made my daughter's matching dresses (and a ton of other stuff including toys, bags, etc!) I definitely became a bit obsessed for a while...

Or just copy my mother and write them all on a post-in note stuck to the side of your monitor!

Looks better than a lot of real food!

It's also lack of time. Because you start a small task (put clothes away) and realize there are more steps (clear out the drawers so the clean clothes fit), then more (sort clothes into summer and winter so you can store), then more (take the old clothes for recycling), and it just becomes too much work for the small task you started with!

Interesting etymology. Another way of saying confirmation bias!

Similar in the UK to be fair. Tables of 6+ often have a tip (10-15%) added as standard, though this is still "discretionary."

I don't know about that - I've never heard that issue with leaving a cash tip in Europe, especially as the amount overall is fairly neglible. Most of mainland Europe doesn't even give the option to add a tip to a card payment when you get the bill as tips are discretionary.

The average wage in Spain is 2268 EUR per month (very low compared to many places), though people in the service industry will earn less than that of course. In the villages a coffee is about EUR 1.50-1.80 and a set 3-course lunch is around EUR 11-13 (but more in the big cities).

There are a lot of cultural differences (obviously) but the cost of living is generally less overall. Cafes and restaurants here are often staffed by either younger people still studying (and usually living at home), or older people.

It isn't a route to riches by any stretch, but people get a set minimum wage which should be enough to afford rent/shopping without needing to be supplemented with tips. That said - life is hard and the cost of living is definitely going up here. You wouldn't earn hundreds of Euros in tips even in the best Spanish restaurants though.

For those of us outside of the US, this seems crazy! Tipping 25+% adds such a lot to the final bill.

In Spain, we just leave a couple of Euros, maybe more if service was exceptional. There simply isn't the same pressure for diners to tip, as all waiting staff earn a living wage.

Tips here are simply an incentive/reward for good service, rather than absolutely expected in order to supplement the wages of underpaid staff.
