temp123477··on Britain to make salary disclosure in job ads mandatory
Few jobs won't have a market salary. I think for exec jobs there could be an exception here. You may want to pay one person double the other and even define different role for them. But for a welder or junior dev it should be easy to define and figure out.
temp123477··on Britain to make salary disclosure in job ads mandatory
Feels like a law requiring prices on shop shelves. Isn't it self interest to put the salary in the ad? So much saved time. And probably more suitable applicants. I don't apply for a job without knowing the salary. Or via recruiters that tell you upfront (they usually do).

Read more about this since and I think deicing can only do so much and can be overwhelmes by severe icing perhaps cause by supercooled water (liquid but below zero).

Usually at -47C it is too cold for this to happen but speculators have said this may be supercooled liquid coming up from the lower thunderstorm.

Happy for people to comment if any of this is wrong. I am not a pilot or aircraft engineer or fluid mechanic etc.

My layman's idea of how hard to get rid of ice: try cleaning your freezer of built up ice or chuck a massive block of ice in the sun and see how many hours it takes to melt. Snowmen can survive a sunny few days after the snow.

I was around in the days of large one of licensed and ongoing support. There is no way they would want software without that ongoing support. Not just helpdesk but a team behind that fixing bugs and responsible for the software.

However that does open space for free software plus pay for supporting it. Good example would be WPEngine maybe. You can easily move from them to someone else if you use WP. Not so easy to move from Jira to something else because then the software changes.

temp123477··on Bidirectional charging during grid outages
Add wind and I think you are onto something. Where I live it can rain for weeks on end so having another source of renewable is great.
temp123477··on Bidirectional charging during grid outages
Not an issue on my system (or rarely) as it generates enough to not need grid at the moment even with EV charging. So simply don't charge the EV and avoid washing machine, dryer etc. until grid comes back will probably do it. Another tactic is run some stuff off the car to reduce load on house battery

Warning. Heard people say on Reddit to NOT listen to that audio.

Yeah will have to wait a year or two to find out the cause.

I'll just say I wonder why they flew in that weather system at all. From watching too many accidents on YT I am guessing with private aviation there is more pressure to get it done.

On flight radar where I live if there is a fraction of the thunder storms the sky is a ghost town and they will delay departures from other airports say 1hr flight away to wait it out.

temp123477··on French lawmakers approved a tax of €0.055 for every gigabyte of internet traffic
What is the reason? Seems like absolute taxing the wrong thing. It is not attached to any cost for the government, not revenue or income directly and I can't see a reason to put people off using data (like you might do with pollution taxes) so why? (I don't speak or read French).
temp123477··on Serbia just elected the world's brainiest parliament
Maybe they are just less experienced in politics. I wonder if their education includes much about the problems they need to solve for society in that country. On the plus side a PhD is good at research and can probably get up to speed damn quick and read a lot. As long as they don't have the hubris!
