People don't own the house just to sell it for more later on. Some live in them.

Winter/Summer cycle is more about the angle of Earths rotational axis and not the distance from the sun.

I suspect Chilean office problem was more related to timezones, if they are moving to Europe.

There is an interesting side effect here. Salaries throughout EU vary a lot. This will give people chance to better understand the salary differences between countries.

Can somebody explain to me where the companies get all these people?

A lot of huge companies doubled/tripled in size during pandemic. Did people just take on 3 jobs or where we hitting super low levels of unemployment?

Depends on how you drive and how large your car is. My moms old Renault capture diesel uses around 5l/100km on average (combined city/highway) while she is driving and around 5.5-6l/100km while I'm driving. Just rented a Peugeout 208 1l diesel in Nice, France. Averaged 5l/100km during the week (500 km). Around 50/50 split regarding kms driven on highway and inside a city.

For me (I also use gas for heating), this would mean an increase of monthly expenses around 5-8% during winter months. (assuming 6x increase in the last winters bills). Though I don't live in an 6 bedroom glass house, so other people mileage may vary.

Though average food/fuel prices have also gone up quite a lot, so the total monthly expenses have gone up more around 20%, which is a lot more closer to actual inflation in my region.

I'm using 5-7 kWh/d. Pretty constant. Includes washing machine and induction stove, but excludes heating the apartment and hot water.

As Rust is llvm based, you don't need to compile it to C. Just write a backend that translates LLVM IR to C instead of x86_64. The IR is very C looking, it's probably overly complex.

Compiling down to asm, lot of information is lost regarding memory layout etc, so it's not the best source for generating code.

In practice, employers try to advertise themselves as high paying, to actually get some decent people. Even basic good stores like to have decent employees.

In most cases, the lowest number will be just below the pay of the worst candidate they are ready to hire and the highest number is the budget for the position. And they will offer you something in between.
