Everywhere I worked in North America (USA and Canada) paid bi-weekly.

Everywhere I’ve worked in Europe (Germany and UK) paid monthly.

I would guess that this is just a difference in norms

Doubtful, given that Dendi is Ukrainian…

But now that I think of it, he’s a Russian speaking Ukranian so maybe he WOULD be their first choice…

Interestingly, in europe this seems to vary by country!

I was just thinking that I wasn’t sure which was correct, but it seems both are actually acceptable in Germany although after the number is preferred

Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb

It has it’s own challenges, sure… but english isn’t even remotely close to being the hardest language to learn

The spelling is messed up, it has (like virtually every language) a bunch of exceptions to rules, but the grammar has been hugely simplified over the past 1000 years.

Not to mention that the biggest advantage to learning languages is familiarity and the fact that English is, well, everywhere makes it easier.

Sure Esperanto is easier, but for most of the world something like Japanese would be muuuuuch harder

Good point, it did mention US in the title

I’m going to guess you mean New Hampshire in the USA?

I’m skeptical that this is at all true, but it’s not about being granted the job, but rather getting past the initial HR filtering and actually getting the chance to talk to a human.

Depends heavily on the disability. For, for instance, blind people, the day cars were banned would be the best day of their lives!

The best was when you heard how the Professors got their job back in the 70s-80s.

They generally just finished a PhD and were given a position!

The real answer is that there is currently an AI arms race (mostly) between Google and OpenAI.

The way that the modern internet economy works is that the winners generally take the majority of the market and everyone else takes the scraps.

I work in machine learning and have spoken with some of the Google engineers about it recently. They said that when ChatGPT blew up last year, it sent shockwaves through the whole company. They had thought that they were ahead on AI, but suddenly realised that they were WAY behind.

Now they are putting a ton of effort into trying to push new models and uses because they are worried about becoming the “Bing of AI” rather than the “Google of AI”

Recently got back into Dota 2. It’s still incredibly good!

Depends on the country though as well. Its probably pretty easy to figure out for big ones like the USA, but in smaller countries its often a mess…

For any sort of online banking you generally need a password.

A lot of banks these days are online only.

Ranch dressing is a big one, since you can’t get hidden valley anywhere!

I always request that one from from family in the US (along with good bbq sauce and hot sauce)

I use it to run the Sky App to stream football.

The only options are a windows app or an android app (since you can’t watch in the browser) and I couldn’t get the windows app to work with WINE.

The android app runs fairly well with waydroid, although it occasionally runs into some hiccups.

I think they mean “reign supreme” in the sense that, given the choice, most people these days would choose the bluetooth anyways.

Its just so nice to not have a cord…

My most recent issue with Bluez is that it’s been very inconsistent about letting me disable auto-switching to HSP/HFP (headset mode) when joining any sort of call.

It’s working now, but it feels like every few months I need to try a different solution.

I loved the books and found the netflix series to be a pretty enjoyable westernization of them.

There were a few changes/choices that were a bit strange or missed the point, but overall it’s worth watching

That’s such a good point. I really appreciated how it wasn’t scared to let viewers figure things out.
