- free652This is pretty much everytime in Europe, not sure if the local terminals or the chase chip card always prompts me to pay with 1) USD 2) EURO
- yes, 2.5 just couldnt use tools right. 3.0 is way better at coding. better than sonnet 4.5/
- You cant buy an iPhone without a director approval. And it's like 3 gen behind as well. So no, they don't use iPhones.
- >(Ukraine was richer than Poland in 1993...)
Lol that's an absolute false statement. Ukraine was never richer than Poland, when it became a country (1991) economy went down a lot. So in 1993 - hahaha.

- Why? I would expect China to be at the top since it's #1 manufacturing country? But India is like behind Germany at (5).
How about GDP per emission? And that would make China way higher than US.
- Ohhh so they aren't like selling weapon to Russia? Right. Keep going.
- Well you found one, and I can tell you about time when in EU that a place took a hard print of my card in the last 5 years! Didn't even know that card imprinters still exists.
Zelle is not just person to person, it's just a transfer. You can pay businesses, people and even transfer to yourself. Zero fees.
Europe is a big continent and I can easily find a place that is way more backwards ;)
Also 2 letters from EMV stands for 2 American companies :).
- >magnetic swipe card phaseout.
Swipe? I don't recall a time when I needed to swipe in US in the last few years. Pretty much tap, tap, tap, tap. Actually you cannot swipe a card in US that has a chip, and probably 99% of cards have chips.
>Compare the quality of that to a wire or to a ACH transfer.
Zelle? Just a qr code or a phone number? And it's free?
>Wise and Revolut
No clue. What's so special that I don't have with Chase?
>EU is also ahead with security
Um isn't that useless? As more scams are via social engineering.
>But I heard worse of the US.
I heard the same about EU, actually MUCH worse :)
- I am I really hate driving long road trips.. So yes! Or they could even sell private taxi between states so I don't even have to own a car :)
- does gemini code assist work with Rider? Since its a jetbrain ide? I would drop VS2022 in favor of anything, but vscode isn;t cutting it.
- Haven't installed an app in ages, but seeing an ad in a store isn't as bad as seeing an ad in my app launcher. And yes, windows puts ads in the start menu.
- Weirdly that I don't get any ads in Android.... My phone was made by the same ad company.
- Jesus, it was so annoying so I kept appending a letter after each password reset -> a through z
thankfully my current company let me keep my password for the last 3 years
- > You were never getting on the plane in the first place.
Not always the case, you could be physically removed from the plane because the flight is full:

- April 1st!
- zfsbootmenu https://docs.zfsbootmenu.org/en/v3.0.x/
Also nice way to recover zfs if anything goes wrong. yea, it's a linux image for just booting. But you put it as an EFI image, and works great.
- Well since FreeBSD is pulling ZFS source from Linux, I am not certain what are the rough edges. And I have ran ZFS for 7+ years on Linux with zero issues.
- >Laying off randomly and not low performers
Low performers? By what metric? And your metric sucks, that's because a single metric is meaningless, even 10 metrics are useless.
Did you do over 200 CLs a year? 10000 LoC? 10-20 design docs? 10 product launches? CL comments, reviews, bug fixed, filed?
Sure you can identify outliers, but the baseline is not exactly very telling.
In my other companies layoffs were always random.
- IMHO a lot of googlers (especially old timers) believe they were special, here is a news flash. You weren't, Google didn't come with a lot of products. And that's why where Google is right now.
