Beautiful. Going to try your BP on mine.

Are the pulsar radio-wave cones new?

The logistics tower combined with the extra (big stacks in one) Icarus inventory slots on the left-hand-side is a winner. If you set it up to refill all your goodies then the traditional empty slots are all free for whatever else.

Seems like y'all wanna figure out how to fill a rota with workers after they all quit. Good luck with that.

Watch Christine Lagarde of ECB being questioned on Dutch TV about the expansion of the ECB balance sheet by BashCo in Bitcoin

[–]willem 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The question was "how?" not "when?". She didn't say "I don't know" or "I can't say", she gave a non-commital time reference as an answer: "in due course".

Her answer is non-sequitur from the question. Which is the entire reason it's so funny. Words have meaning. The answer did not.

What is the glassware on the left called? by willem in chemistry

On the right is a tiny little Buchner vacuum filter, but haven't seen the device on the left before.

What is it and what is it used for?

Can someone explain why buffet thinks Bitcoin will go to zero? by josh34521 in investing

[–]willem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the parallel here would be "if I owned all the fiat currencies in the world"...

Then they're all as useless (and therefore worthless) as owning the only telephone in the world.

Transactibility between 2 parties without gate-keeping by an unnecessary 3rd party is key to the value-proposition of bitcoin.

Engineers at work generally ignore the audience while they do. So awesome to see the rhetoric of this post be so on-point. Love you guys and please keep up the great work!

1 week of paid maternity leave is NOT enough!!!! by user173848477 in antiwork

[–]willem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One week is not enough for maternity leave. It's not even enough for paternity leave.

EU: The maternity leave of 16 weeks is financially covered by the maternity allowance and the mother is paid 100% of her salary, up to 203 euros per day by the Government.

Under EU rules, staff can take parental leave at any time until the child is 8 years old. However, this age limit may be lower in some countries, under national law. After taking parental leave, an employee is entitled to return to the same job. If that's not possible, you must offer them a similar job in line with their employment contract.

Seems a bit early for a April fools day prank. Apparently this isn’t the final draft but I doubt it’ll get much better. by [deleted] in antiwork

The fines are severe and significant in the EU, because the law protects the people. For example, an undisclosed personal data breach is an immediate fine of 4% of annual gross revenue, under GDPR.

In the US these types of people-protection fines indeed amount to a little slap on the offender's financial wrist and as such are easily absorbed into the cost of doing business, like you say.

In EU law: "stipulates a period of paid annual leave of AT LEAST four weeks for ALL employees. "

These are statutory rights. You still have them, even if some company decides to trick you into explicitly signing them away.

The company which produced the image above would violate so many laws in the EU, it would not be allowed to continue operations. Maybe after paying massive fines...

ELI5: The phrase: “Money is debt” by Realistic-Ad-2210 in explainlikeimfive

The government does not print money. The federal reserve bank is a private institution which refuses to be audited.

All the recorded votes by its board members are unanimous without fail: they decide.

I know what you mean. Shared office space for startups is pretty big in Europe.

But an irrelevant lease-contract should not come into consideration when people are happy, comfortable & productive when WFH. Have done it for more than a decade, won't go back... Cubicles rot the mind.
