I hope this has an effect on wages increasing so that two parents working full time isn't the only option for middle-class families.

You couldn't help yourself, could you? :)

I might be a little dumb, but I genuinely found the article confusing. I have some questions nonetheless.

What exactly is "Age Assurance"? Secondly, why would Age Assurance hinder new companies that want to create content platforms?

The EU is European Project.

I think it's very easy to take the benefits of the EU and our resulting prosperity for granted. We need to actually have some power in the US-EU relationship, and the only way is to combine further.

I don't know what that will look like, but I'd like Europe to be able to chart its own course. We know what happens to nations that are at the mercy of countries more powerful.

How do we just kill the bill? This is a terrible piece of legislation through and though and has been masquerading as something to protect childen.

I'd like to understand this better. Is the EU parliament incapable of blocking this bill?

I'm afraid that your proposition is too extreme. I believe in the European project, and this position seems like we're trying to kill a fly with a bazooka.

How do we as Europeans make sure that this ugly piece of legislation never rears its ugly head again.

Like so many other treatises on engineering management, this fails because it does not focus on people, it focuses on tasks and treats people as compute.

Am I the only one who didn't know that UPS drivers were paid 6 figures? This is news to me.

I went to Ireland just last month, and I have to say that the Airport was significantly better than what it was 2 years ago. This news puts a damper on my raised expectations.

I think you read a different article. Miguel is aggrieved by the fact that it is no longer a developer focused company, which was the reason for its success.

Sure, you need sales, marketing and the rest of it; it does not mean that you need to forget what made you great in the first place.

What is a good alternative to reddit?

It isn't. It has pretty much decimated their industry to the point where there are no decent tech companies in Spain, and the few that exist do not pay those local rates (typeform for example).

From PayScale, the upper is at $50K. You wouldn't even get an average developer for that salary in Barcelona for example.

Those figures are wrong to be honest. Most senior folks in Spain don't work for Spanish companies in general; they work for EU companies that pay more. Plenty of senior folks in Spain making $100k+. In Barcelona, you can make north of $70K easy; even for non-senior devs.

I agree with OP. The salary is way too low for a senior European developer to consider because taking a US job means that there are no employment protections that you'd usually get; employment is at will for contractors.

Source: I live in the EU.

No it does not. It requires all formal communications to be recorded, but nothing else. No WADU.

This is dystopian. Something like this would be illegal in the EU.

This seems like something out of a Dystopia novel. For some reason, it reminded me of severance.

I really don't understand tipping culture in America. Are you required to tip? Why do restaurants not pay their staff enough to live?

Which version though? 3.5 or 4? It does not state this explicitly. There is a world of difference between 3.5 and 4.

Not for everyone. A new societal class has emerged, comprising individuals who can work remotely indefinitely (I'm lucky to be one of them). In contrast, workers in industries requiring proximity to their workplaces, such as truck drivers, caregivers, and healthcare providers, face a different set of challenges.

I wonder if the differences in society will be exacerbated due to this or if governments will take measures to make commuting and living near workspaces affordable again.

I think you have a point there. AGI doesn't have a straight-forward litmus test.

I think there are some interesting questions:

- Sam does not have equity in OpenAI. Does this mean he can potentially be removed at any point in time?

- OpenAI's profit arm will funnel excess profit to its non-profit wing. If this is the case, who determines excess profit?

- OpenAI's founding charter commits the company to abandoning research efforts if another project nears AGI development. If this happens, what happens to the profit arm?

For me, it comes down to the cohesiveness of the whole thing. VSCode plugins often feel janky.

> It is very important to note that small p-values do not guarantee that the results are replicable or that statistical significance implies practical significance [18]. This means that swearing will not automatically improve the quality of your code. However, a study showed that swearing in the workplace acts as a form of stress relief [1], which in turn could then improve focus and therefore code quality. This might be a possible explanation for the findings.

Swearing is a means of stress relief, leading to better code. There are no control groups, but that is an interesting conclusion.

I know that there are loads of people giving advice here that haven't been in a situation where they had almost no options when it came to getting a job when they graduated. I have been in a similar situation to you, and here are some of the things that I'd advise you to do.

1. Minimise your costs. If you can live with your relatives, do so.

2. If you cannot find a job, work on an open source project that is close to a field that you are interested in. Make sure that you do not have gaps in your resume that you cannot explain. This also allows you to keep your skills fresh and purpose to your day.

3. Invest in finishing the blind 75. These are set of interview questions that if you can understand, and master, you will be able to ace pretty much any technical interview.

4. Make sure you also are prepared for system design questions. There are many books on the matter. Although SDIs can be quite subjective, it is good to have an understanding of what you can do.

5. Do not limit yourself to your town/city/area. Apply for any and all remote jobs that apply to you.

This seems like a cheap shot, if I'm being honest.

Bought a standing desk for EUR 385. I got hernia in 2022, and this really helps me quite a bit.

Over time, the competition to get into these schools have gotten tougher and competition is now on a global scale for schools such as Harvard. If you don't grade on a curve, would it not be normal to see students do better? There are more past exam papers, more prep before you even join the school and more onus on the students to do well because they attend such a great school.
