Spoilers:

Worst 10: Spain, Finland, Sweden, Greece, France, Estonia, Italy, Latvia, Canada, Portugal.

Best 10: Netherlands, Iceland, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, South Korea, Japan, Malta, Czech Republic, Singapore.

Order in both lists is from higher to lower rate of unemployment, i.e. worst to best.

I don’t think much of these lists I guess. I keep hearing that Germany is hosed because of inflation outstripping earnings, and lots of Germans are moving to Austria because of that.

The lists generally don’t reflect anecdotal economic conditions in those places. So I’d like to see more direct numbers about median purchasing power and stuff like that. Also for work-seekers with some mobility, exactly what kinds of openings are there in a given country and what occupations are already glutted.

Music that takes focused listening, or else the kind that zones you out.

If you want to use one, go ahead, it’s powerful enough for most non-media apps. You can also consider the PocketBeagle 2 which is more aimed at embedded use, with several a/d pins, a coprocessors, etc.

1 centaur = 1/2 human + 1/2 horse

1/2 human + 1/2 centaur = 3/4 human + 1/4 horse.

Yay math.

Well I can probably get the Google APK one way or another. I’m just slightly afraid to install it.

Any trouble with or from the web view update itself?

The play store says it was just updated a few days ago. The comments are scary though. Yikes.

This still? Give it a rest.

I’d expect any online thing to be traced back to the person if it was juicy or otherwise usable as kompromat. There was just a news item about using LLM analysis to de-anonymize people, fwiw.

You mean you found the AI slop with google, not much help.

I guess they must have had better internet in the French Revolution than we have here now! Everyone hates Comcast and now you know why ;).

No link?

Only living people can win the prize. If they die between the announcement and the ceremony they still get it posthumously. I’m pretty sure that has happened now and then.

JLR has been paralyzed for the past few weeks due to a cyber attack so the news is that they’re emerging from that.

Interesting though article is from 2016 which is when the scandal happened.

“Let me tell you a secret: chess is the most violent of all sports. I’m a pretty good soccer player and a long-distance swimmer, and recently, I’ve taken up tennis, but I can tell you that there’s no sport as competitive – yes, I’ll say as rough – as chess. The only goal in chess is to prove your superiority over the other guy, and the most important superiority, the most total one, is the superiority of the mind. And there’s no luck involved, no picture card coming up at the right time, no roll of the dice that saves you. It all has to come out of your head. You whip him or he whips you. It’s as simple as that. Or as complicated as that.”

–Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion

So make a lichess.org account and wreak some havoc over the chessboard :).

A lot are trekkers rather than climbers if that helps. Their environmental footprint is much smaller.

Costco has been ok for me.

Yeah I’ve noticed that too and it’s annoying. I just delete the saved text and start again.
