I'm confused because economically it doesn't add up.

Shortages of labor should lead to higher wages. Supply and demand.

So it would make sense to relax laws prohibiting working more than 40hrs in order to unleash additional economic output i.e. increase the amount of money made.

The article claims that for some reason that defies logic, it will just make employers demand more work for same amount of money.

I see two possibilities for that.

A country-wide collusion between employers to fix wages. That doesn't seem possible. If employer A has profit to spare and could make even more profit if he had more employees, what logic would lead him to NOT raise wages and steal workers from employer B? The wages should raise because workers would migrate to the highest paying jobs.

Or there just isn't profit to pay more in which case there's noting the government can do either way.

The country is basically a huge cartel. The business owners have colluded to fix prices, wages, supply. In every industry or business sector. It's just effed up. Whoever has normal goals, like having a family that they can support and give them a quality of live and not just make meets end, is trying to find job in another country.

I don't know how is it possible in 2023 both trains to run on the same line and therefore crush head to head with each other. This is murderous negligence.

There are no etcs and safety related systems working. Everything works manually and from notes

The default Camera App in Google Pixel can auto-recognize QR codes, but unfortunately it doesnt work with these. Meanwhile, a dedicated QR scanner (such as built-in in iPhne) works.

I use gcam on a xiaomi redmi note 7 and it recognised everything except for the animated ones.

I recommend you the "Manga Guide to Databases" :-) It's a very, very good introduction to relational databases and SQL.

I'll give it a try, though I don't really like manga for entertainment, so I guess it will be a bit difficult to keep me focused for studying :p Thanks a lot

also a good reads from Camus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_of_Sisyphus and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stranger_(Camus_novel) and a quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/29516-there-is-but-one-trul...

“There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories — comes afterwards. These are games; one must first answer.”

actually, this quote is from the beginning of the Myth of Sisyphus :)
deninho commented on Ask HN: What book are you reading this Summer?    · Posted by u/Dowwie
deninho · 7 years ago
"The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus. I've been meaning to read it since I read "The Stranger" by the same author, which is my all-time favourite book.

If I finish it early, I'll read "The Universe in a nutshell" by Stephen Hawking

deninho commented on Ask HN: How do you organise your hard drive?    · Posted by u/cogs

I organize my projects inside my Documents folder. Specifically, my main folders are:

~Documents/MSc ~Documents/Projects ~Documents/Documents

the MSc folder goes like that:

~MSc/A/class ----> letter (A, B, or C) is the semester, and then the class (simplified of course)

inside each class the structure is:

~class1/class_material ----> where is the documents (pdfs, slides etc) provided by the instructor and scanned notes if any ~class1/Project(s) ----> where are the projects for the class.

Each project has 2-3 subfolders: ~Project1/src ----> source code (different approaches for the same project go in here in seperate folders) ~Project1/documents ----> reports, presentations etc, and a txt with refereneces to papers, books and websites used. ~Project1/Results ----> if i have to do tests comparing approaches, models etc I keep my results in here In the root folder of each project I keep the project requirments

My /Projects folder has the same approach

My Documents folder, for now is divided in two folders: ebooks and papers, and inside those folders are just bunch of files (with proper filenames, though, so searching is working) --- My Photos folder goes like that:

~Photos/year/month/event

each "event" folder has the raw files and an "exported" folder where the processed photos are. If I do panoramas, there is also an extra folder, called "panoramas": ~event/exported ~event/panoramas --- my Downloads folder is just a temp folder, so there is no need to waste time there. --- My Desktop is always empty (and icons hidden)
