People don't own the house just to sell it for more later on. Some live in them.
Winter/Summer cycle is more about the angle of Earths rotational axis and not the distance from the sun.
I suspect Chilean office problem was more related to timezones, if they are moving to Europe.
There is an interesting side effect here. Salaries throughout EU vary a lot. This will give people chance to better understand the salary differences between countries.

Can somebody explain to me where the companies get all these people?

A lot of huge companies doubled/tripled in size during pandemic. Did people just take on 3 jobs or where we hitting super low levels of unemployment?

Google dropped it from Android, but several phone manufacturers are putting it back in ever since.
Depends on how you drive and how large your car is. My moms old Renault capture diesel uses around 5l/100km on average (combined city/highway) while she is driving and around 5.5-6l/100km while I'm driving. Just rented a Peugeout 208 1l diesel in Nice, France. Averaged 5l/100km during the week (500 km). Around 50/50 split regarding kms driven on highway and inside a city.
Re:U.S. annual inflation rate drops to 8.5% on Wednesday August 10, 2022 @09:48AM (#32411877)
For me (I also use gas for heating), this would mean an increase of monthly expenses around 5-8% during winter months. (assuming 6x increase in the last winters bills). Though I don't live in an 6 bedroom glass house, so other people mileage may vary.

Though average food/fuel prices have also gone up quite a lot, so the total monthly expenses have gone up more around 20%, which is a lot more closer to actual inflation in my region.

I'm using 5-7 kWh/d. Pretty constant. Includes washing machine and induction stove, but excludes heating the apartment and hot water.
As Rust is llvm based, you don't need to compile it to C. Just write a backend that translates LLVM IR to C instead of x86_64. The IR is very C looking, it's probably overly complex.

Compiling down to asm, lot of information is lost regarding memory layout etc, so it's not the best source for generating code.

It's so easy, it even occurred naturally in past.

Re:Pay Transparency: European Commission proposes measures on Tuesday February 22, 2022 @11:51AM (#30430204)
In practice, employers try to advertise themselves as high paying, to actually get some decent people. Even basic good stores like to have decent employees.

In most cases, the lowest number will be just below the pay of the worst candidate they are ready to hire and the highest number is the budget for the position. And they will offer you something in between.

Even if this gets approved, it still requires all the member states to change their laws.

Luckily for me, I already live in one of EU members that have such law in place. Allows me to discard job postings under my salary range.

Some job postings still have x - 5x ranges, but knowing the industry salaries, depending on how component the person is, I believe that it's actually the true range.

Re:Hacking a VW Golf Power Steering ECU on Monday January 03, 2022 @12:07PM (#29783047)
There isn't a demand for stolen car parts. There is a demand for cheeper/used car parts. This is in part due to lower salaries combined with people wanting to buy "cool" cars that are way over their budget hence they aren't able to afford new car parts for them.
Re:Hacking a VW Golf Power Steering ECU on Monday January 03, 2022 @12:01PM (#29782942)
I don't think they actually send them to baltics, as those are stolen from cars here also and they probably catch a better price in Stockholm anyway. Or sent a lot further than that.

The running "joke" is that insurers pay to put your original stuff back into car, as insurers somehow find "used" parts for mechanics.

I would guess that it could be due to having more ions in air due to higher radiation levels.
Not necessarily. You can encrypt the search value clientside and search by value in its encrypted form.
Re:How to find a job as Software Developer in Germany on Thursday April 22, 2021 @04:16PM (#26907625)
How did Singapore tackle it?
According to METI[1] on summer 2019, there where 1.1*10^9 L of contaminated water with radiation of "≦a few hundred Bq/L". Assuming 200, we get 0.22 TBq of radiation in total.

In comparison, based on reports of US Nuclear regulatory Comission, US reactors in 2003 dumped more than 1.50 PBq of tritium[2].

To me, the "less then few hundred Bq/L" seems a bit low, but I could not find any other sources.

Edit: This [3] reports that total tritium is about 860 TBq, so, apparently, I just don't understand correctly the "few hundred Bq/L" part. This would translate to 716667 Bq/L or ~ 12 times the Japans drinkable water limit.
