> [...] but only if my boss and the company decided to be real jerks about it. Another reason not to work for jerks if you can avoid it.

Worker protection rights in the U.S.A. truly are seen as a joke.

This is a lie. Joseph Biden pardoned Francis W. Biden, James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, John T. Owens and Valerie Biden Owens among many, many other dubious choices.

The U.S.A. is the embodiment of crony capitalism.

I never understood why you can't just take any random European country where ones company also has a presence and stick to the (government mandated) vacation time there, usually 5-6 weeks p.a. - is this considered unacceptable in the U.S.A.?

I think this is just materially incorrect.

Have you ever tried publishing a paper to an IEEE Section 8 conference? The page limits are ruthless. TELFOR 2026 has a 4 - 8 pages maximum.

Working with tape storage was part of my high school education. So was mainframe job scheduling...

Europe is as much ahead as it is behind.

This reads like a Markov Chain's output.

Is Vienna the place to be for security researchers in their 30s starting to doubt their life choices?

The future will belong to China. The U.S. has fallen.

Articles like this are just further proof.

He worked for devrel under Osmani. These guidelines and processes do not apply to them, last I checked.

Adore it! Why did you not become an auto mechanic, then?

This vendor claims that they can service their customers with 21k less employees... in the same quality?

Our economy is a fraud.

Funny, I celebrated Father's Day on June 14th. I thought there was a globally agreed upon date, but alas I have been proven wrong.

Happy Father's day, most of the world!

Please read Directive (EU) 2022/2557 and then tell me how a disgruntled office worker is supposed to do anything they aren't supposed to, given full compliance with the directive. I've seen some preliminary national implementation efforts and it's really serious stuff physical security wise.

Google has historically always sucked at being a product company. Despite this, they're quite successful at it.

You need to legislate effectively.

This is something U.S.-Americans often do not (want to) understand. The misconception often is that just because their legislative efforts are an ineffective, lobby-ridden crapshoot, that the free market is automatically the best answer to everything.

You can affect really good and positive change through lawmaking, the entire point of it is to regulate and intervene when the wellbeing of the populous and fair competition is in jeopardy.

This kind of support should be mandated for any digital utilities company such as Google.

The difference between small business success and insolvency was based on the shier luck of being graced with the presence of someone in contact with the priesthood of Google, where no real contact from the plebian citizenry is allowed.

Exactly this kind of thing is why the EU feels the need to regulate the shit out of U.S. big tech.

This comment is a little creepy.

I'd argue that this (your) comment is much weirder. Could you provide a reason or point us at least to what you find so particularly weird?

I genuinely didn't know about their OSS efforts, thanks!

This sounds absolutely horrible, in all aspects. Sounds like there is no engineering culture at all.

I think I'm missing something here. Apple software has no open source code, how are you suggesting fixes?

In some circles, High Level Assembly (HLA) is lovingly called "Mainframe Assembly".

Why not just use VeraCrypt containers with DropBox until this man of colour that you are scared of leaves their elected office? That way, your files are E2E encrypted via FOSS tooling.

We're in the boom phase of the cycle. The bust on these chips always comes.

I share this sentiment. Go, Cyclones!

> Does the article say how it’s going to work?

You pay them the bonus, it shows on the pay cheque, like every salary bonus. What about this is something you'd expect in an article?

Yes, it fits. The U.S.A. has an image of being a (wildly successful) tactless grifter without respect for agreements and contracts in foreign policy circles.

Sounds like a massive gap in the legislature. Someone should fix this loophole.

Just wait until you learn of other countries' "Freeports" (Zollfreilager) like i.e. Vienna's vie:artport. It's common practice.

Adding to that, the airports and the freeports are sometimes privately run. It's not like the municipal government could do something even if they wanted to in some cases.

But sure, be angry at things you don't fully understand. That's surely healthy.
