My last working place had 3 months, I gave them 3 months+3 days (well, really just wanted to start the current on a monday). Heck, even that was a hard time to replace me in (in fact, my boss didn't succeed and the workload had to be spread so I've been consulting for them every now and then to clarify stuff since handover wasn't perfectly handled (the guy I was supposed to give my position with got fired almost instantly since he was a screwup))).
This place has got 1 month, with a progressive scale the longer you work here (up to three months).
Less than a month is only for people paid by hour in one way or another.
So, you wouldn't say keeping the competence in-house, for a lower wage than hiring new would cost (PLUS not needing to train new people), plus probable extra understanding both ways AND keeping morale high are worthless?
Somewhere being a nice place to work and a place that has your back is economically wonderful.
It's staring blind into numbers and not seeing the people behind them which actually costs more...
Sweden loves doing that as well. The data retention act originated in Sweden after Tomas Bodström failed to make ground in applying it here.
Then it came from EU, and we implemented it (not that draconically, but still). Then the EU court decided that it was unlawful.
And yet we still have it and the only party against it in reality is the pirate party (still well below 1%) and the most notable agent against it is Bahnhof, a private ISP with a flair for dramatic stances on personal privacy.
To me, it's very interesting that the results of packaging being done right (which was basically done to avoid actual dependancy hell) is now being called dependancy hell.
It's way easier to maintain statically linked libraries, naturally. That, essentially, is the problem. Developers taking short-cuts.
This shortcut will be "tons of fun" when every program has an essential security lib which contains a massive security flaw. Now, instead of updating that lib, every program needs to update it's lib first. It's no longer properly maintained? Good luck removing the next heartbleed...
The original script was supposed to be 20-40 minutes of seeing just how crappy earth had become. Humanity subsisted on algae grown in the oceans and most plant-life was extinct.
Then they kinda realized that beginning a movie like that would have brought it to absurd amounts of time.
Even absurder.
The natives weren't very nice though, unless you consider an intelligent pack of dogs nice...
Obese I'll give you. Alcohol abuse has been pretty rampant throughout human history though. Being controlled by information monopoly has been the norm to an even larger extent.
In Sweden, we have consistently been going less and less memorization and this has led to lower and lower results on international tests like PISA. Much of the discussion is why we perform lower, and it's almost never even suggested that the tests are poor indicators for actually being successful in a chosen field. It's almost always seen as a failure of the school system.
I'm not so sure.
The biggest advantage of rote memorization early on is that you learn to accumulate minute details quickly, this really helps in certain types of education later on.
The biggest disadvantage is that you mold yourself into a stuck form since you use that system a bit too often.
Learning basic programming to kids seems like a good way to get them interested in it.
Some basic scripting, learning what if, while and loops are? Seems very worthwhile.
Trying to teach advanced "flavor of the year" seems lika a wazte until at the very least high school though. You can count on any specific knowledge about a programming language to be next to irrelevant in about five years.
But the basics? They are pretty much universal.
Also, learning kids a bit about html, link structures and so on? Also a good idea.

It's not 90 billion USD in wealth.
It's 90 billion USD in assets, most of them are "at work".
I found it quite funny that you wrote punch instead of punish =)
Hahahahaha.
You are seriously calling "Alliansen" libertarian =P?
Not saying I like them, but calling them libertarian is ridicolous, they are far, far left of the democrats.
Gay sex is more than just butt-sex.
Frankly, butt-sex is about as common (percentually) between straight couples.
Remake biological makeup to fit the heteronorm?
That's pretty dark.
Got me listening to Bach.
Thanks =)
The no-margin end of the market...
Nice to see a sane view on things.
Happy, non-stressed workers generally produce way better than unhappy stressed workers.
Knowing you can not be replaced is a huge stress.
The norm in Sweden is 1-3 months.
Goes both ways.

Except they would very probably not have compatible cell structures, which is inherently necessary for all viruses.
Sweden loves doing that as well.

While true, it's the copyright holder who has to pursue the infringement.
So, basically, how likely is it that Linux will sue Canonical?

It's generally more interesting talking about how many are currently looking for jobs.

Right and left doesn't really matter when it's a dictatorship.
Right and left are for when dissenting opinions are allowed.
Huh?
It will start costing money?
You seem to ignore psychology.
The problem is basically funding, highly trained professionals getting not enough resources to helt people.
He is a smelly hippy.
However, he is very intelligent and has a solid foundation for what he's saying.
So while he is somewhat ridicolous, he is also highly fascinating.
Assburgers is often used as a means of indicating that someone does not in fact have Aspergers Syndrome, but is merely acting like an ass.
Why exactly?
Teaching basic math is a very different thing from learning to do advanced math.
And, yes, basic math would include pretty much everything up to university level.
