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
I had these during kindergarten (in the 90s) in the US, but they replaced them with cartons by the time I got to first grade.
Which is good because none of us 5 year Olds could operate them
I grew up on a farm and this was the ultimate defense against geese.
They are much lighter than you, so if you can get them off the ground (neck or feet ideally) they can't do anything
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
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.
Where I live (London) things are virtually cashless. Nearly everything is just paid for be contactless. I basically never have coins and it would be a huge hassle to get them.
I love it, honestly.
I'm in the process of moving away for other reasons, but brexit had nearly no effect on visiting/entering the UK, so no need to worry about that.
They were never in schengen, so there were always border controls. Most of their border controls are automated, so it's super smooth.
It's wayyyyy easier than (for instance) entering the US (even as an American!)
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!
Italy wins the euros and then falls to qualify for the WC again?
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)
