Garmin instinct fixes this. Rugged, physical buttons with a battery life that last weeks. It's true about the special charger, but there are also usb-c adapters.

Seems pretty bad. I tried it and got 99% Dutch but have never lived in the Netherlands.

But nearly every apartment has a broker fee, not just rent-controlled units. Plus, my understanding is that a rent-controlled apartment is pretty rare to actually come to the market, lots of landlords are refurbishing them and removing the rent control.

Truly. I think since Wirecutter recommendations are free (at least for NYT subscribers), they make money with affiliate advertising and make more money by having readers who spend money.

So, their interest in getting me to spend more money is at odds with my interest in buying a quality product (or skipping it if they all suck!). At least Consumer Reports is a paid product who only gets paid by me.

They are just nicer to cook on. They get hotter far quicker and can be more easily controlled.

In the Play store it is possible to see what permissions are required and data is collected.

Crew fatigue is an ATC concern insofar as it contributes greatly to accidents. The controllers may have volume goals, but the ultimate goal is safety.

It was Germany. I put the union in quotes because the direct translation is Works Council.

I think that some software engineers in Germany are covered by the larger unions like IG Metall and Verdi, but my understanding is mostly for those that work in companies that make physical goods like Mercedes, Siemens, etc.

Or have elected officials. If the union isn't fighting for you...elect someone who will.

To me, unions are a lot like democracies. They can function very well, but need constant oversight by their constituents to ensure that they are working towards the interests of all members.

Not coincidentally, the strongest democracies are the ones with many laws regarding transparency to eliminate corruption.

I am a software engineer who used to work in a "unionized" workplace. It was quite nice, and the union would negotiate increases in time off and fight against policy changes that were worse for us. The union leaders were elected every few years (very important IMO) and the union was only within the (rather large) company; there was no affiliation with a larger union.

Typically because the company is more benevolent to non-union workers in this case so to try to incentivize workers to not join or leave the union. If there was no union involved, then the company wouldn't be so benevolent to non-union workers.

Great, now let's see the NHTSA (in the US) implement some pedestrian safety rules in car requirements. We have known this for years and just watched the pedestrian fatalities surge upward.

Cue my immediate layoff panic when I can't access any company repos. Glad it's everything!

edit: github is working again for me
