There is a really good winery in Napa Valley, called Castello di Amorosa. Really good wine, and it is also built as a medieval castle. I bet there are more places like that around the world.

Freedom to Roam 2 years ago

Freedom collides with a lot of other rights. For example you are not free to murder people.

That is different though, they weren’t pushing their own hotels. Google actually built a competing product and integrated it with all its services including search and maps.

This is what happened at the last startup I worked at, before we had a product, even MVP level, the CEO hired an engineering manager, who however was really a process person, except for the title the progression of things is about the same. Things quickly went south. A career ladder was introduced, this is in an org with 6 engineers. Everything even the smallest changed required an RFC and a spec. Open sourcing unrelated stuff got me into trouble. Instead of working on product we got into endless discussions on how to tweak the career ladder or some other part of the org, when there was no org to speak off.

Why can’t you have more than one job in Europe? But it sure is possible in the US, multiple posts here bragged about scoring multiple remote jobs in parallel

The big companies hired so many new engineers over the past fee years, I wonder how many of them just abused the remote work to score multiple jobs? Like where did all those jobless engineers come from on such short notice?

Obviously compared to any other ALU operation, except the most basic binary ops. It is just a parity of 8 bits, so even in a straightforward implementation you only have three levels of XOR, it is not completely serial, you do get to parallelize some. I do agree that it is not free on an 8080, but it is still a lot cheaper than add or sub.

Yeah, Tesla not having CarPlay the main reason I decided not to get one. Having the car be the continuation of my phone is just so convenient.

Yes, newer ones don’t have the same problem, since they are not held back by the rules of a union. Sadly those are few and far between, and I haven’t heard of a new railroad line since the yet to be finished CHSR, though can’t blame that one on the unions.

Ah, but railroad workers in the US are also part of a union/unions, with arguably even more rules and regulations and very averse to technological advances, since it reduces the need for manual labor. So yeah USA would have more deaths because everything is manual and archaic, whereas in the UK you have things like the DLR, it could never happen in the US.
